I'm new to server scripting as part of my course work, it will come in very handy. Thank you
Peter Francis Wiley, USA 
These two books are the first PHP books that really helped me understand some basic PHP and on the other hand how to write OOP for PHP.
Keep up the good work!
D.J. Jongerden - Websteen.nl, USA
I have not read them yet. They came much to late for the project on which I was working, so I did the project in ColdFusion. I'll get to them after the first of the year, I imagine.
Al Lustie, USA 
Book is more advance than I thought, based on the description.
Michael McGlynn, USA 
Loved it. Great reference material!
Reynaldo Pagtakhan, USA
These books are well written and have a wealth of practical examples and concepts.

Volume 1 was very helpful in my quest to learn OOP. I am well into Vol. 2 and it is also very well written.
Ryan Herndon, USA

Fantastic anthology! The author presents the information very clearly with great examples. I'm relatively new to php and this author impressed a buddy of mine whose developed with php for years.
Justin Lambert, USA
As part of a curriculum I am putting together for
a Web Design Course, your book is one of a (very) few must-read books on the reference list.
Joseph Cohen, USA
Both books help me build applications more consistents. Now, the time apply in development was reduced due the reutilization.
