The Guru's don't want you to read this book, they know that if you do they can no longer take advantage of you!
You will no longer need to join list building programs that control your list.

A thoughtful, well written book. I've been using PHP since 2002 and this is truly one of the better books I've come across. The projects are diverse and interesting enough to keep interest at a high level. It's given me new takes on old problems as well. If you're new to PHP I wouldn't start out with this book. Get the basics from a Sam's intro and then immediately dive into this book. I wouldn't say the projects are commercial grade but they give you the basic structure to actually author code companies will pay good $$$ for. This book is well worth the price and time spent.

If I had to reduce my library to just three books, this would be one of them. If you add a good intro book and a complete up-to-date reference, you are equipped to earn a living.

Love this book! It's not a "learn how to do it" type of book, but more of a "here's the code, adapt it to your needs" type. There are some great projects included. I still haven't gotten to all of them yet, and there are some that I will probably never use, but just the few that I already have are well worth the purchase price.

Here are some reviews for the previous edition.

Both books help me build applications more consistents. Now, the time apply in development was reduced due the reutilization.

I haven't really read much of it due to lack of time, but i've seen that the subjects i was looking for are in some way availble. Structure of the books, as always good and pleasant to read.

I expected little bit deeper knowlage for some points, but in general very useful.

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!

Really great books! Usefull techniques, very well explained, which can be immediately used in my own projects.

It is the first book, that exactly learned me to understand OOP in PHP.

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.

Book is more advance than I thought, based on the description.
