Query: Good Book

I went through this entire book and was quite impressed. After reading the reviews on how people didn't learn PHP using this book, I have come to the conclusion that they are mentally handicapped. This book is straight forward and gives you plenty of examples on how to manipulate MySQL databases and how to use php syntax and how to integrate it into your site. It covers cookies, sessions, and other VERY useful super globals. The book contains minor errata, like all text books, but these errors are easily noticed and fixed (ie missing semicolon). If you copy the code exactly and you dont bother to read about the concept of what you are doing I can see how you might not be able to learn, BUT if you actually read the book you will learn from this book! From this book I have been able to write my own database for a user authentication, forms, message boards, and much more! This book rocks my socks.
