    I just started learning PHP also. The book I started out with was:
    \"PHP fast & easy web development\"
    Julie C. Meloni
    Prima Tech
    US $24.99
    isbn 0-7615-3055-x

    This book has alot of hands-on examples. Definitely a begginer\'s book.

    \"PHP and MySQL Web Development\"
    Luke Welling and Lauram Thomson
    SAMS publishing
    US $49.99
    isbn 0-672-31784-2

    This is a more in depth book (800pgs). There are some good examples of e-mail, forums, shopping-cart... The authors are really into using functions.

    Hope this helps.

      I agree. It is the best I have read. Well worth the money. Very practical examples.

        Hmm.. man I was hopeing this would help a lil better. I have been trying ot find a good PHP for about a week. Well I got 2 books to try from then. Yeah I got the money for one. I just want a really good php book that will help me understand and be able to code my own stuff..

          If you've got half a brain, then you can't go wrong with the Welling and Thompson book. 🙂 I highly recommend it.

            Ok thanks. I will try that. also here is a link to one of the 2 site i have made tell me what u think about it. it is my site site i have made and got on the net.
