PHP and MySQL Web Development (3rd Edition) (Developer's Library)
: PHP And MySQL Web Development teaches the reader to develop dynamic, secure e-commerce Web sites. The reader will learn to integrate and implement these technologies by following real-world examples and working sample projects. PHP And MySQL Web Development also covers related technologies needed to build a commercial Web site such as SSL, shopping carts, and payment systems. Intermediate - Advanced, 880pp.
Excellent book, explains all the necessary to develop a good site. It contains very good examples to understand everything about PHP and MySQL. Definitively, my best purchase in PHP and MySQL.
this is a great book to use as a resource for php. it is complete and much better than others i have looked at.
this book rocks the casbah - i went from 0 to a fully ecommerce enabled, automated content, crazy reporting screens and all sorts of other database driven geegawmatic things in about a month. i owe it all to this book. in a tough economy, i still have my job and this book has a lot to do with it. between this and sitepointforums.com you'll be able to get to an advanced level with php in way less time than you'd probably expect.
 While I agree with all the glowing reviews (I was doing object oriented code within a week thanks to this book!), I must qualify it by saying that the first edition of this book has lots of typos. Some are obvious (and glaring) some subtle (and annoying). A great book, yes, but hopefully the second edition will be better edited.
