“Beginning PHP4 offers an almost ideal introductory tutorial
to one of today’s hotter scripting languages. This book really is
everything that the novice needs to start building dynamic Web
sites that are powered by PHP4, but old hands at programming also
will find in it valuable information.”

“PHP 4, from Wrox publishing, provides a good overview of the
PHP Hypertext Processing language, with some nice examples and case
studies. When it comes to PHP, the number of books available is
still slim, but thanks to WROX Publishing, we have a new addition
that serves as a good reference to anyone starting out using
PHP.”

“As with the previous edition of Beginning PHP (for version 3),
the book includes very solid case studies of implementing real-life
solutions in PHP. While this book doesn’t explicitly detail the
differences between PHP 3 and PHP4, it does give a good reference
of the newer features in PHP 4. All in all this is a great book
that will help anyone learn to use PHP or help already
knowledgeable PHP developers hone some of their skill.”
