    We purchased dozens of copies of this book and use it for our PHP and MySQL Bootcamp. This book is straight forward and loaded with real-world examples. Most of the examples can be used for actual websites right out of the book. The book also comes with a CD with all the code (though it’d be nice to have it online as well – not sure if they provide it).

    Overall, highly recommended for anyone who prefers to learn by example.

    If you’re a newcomer to PHP 5 and MYSQL and lack programming or database background, that shouldn’t keep you from benefitting from PHP and MYSQL By Example, which assumes no prior knowledge and starts from ground zero in instructions. Its ‘by example’ system is the key to success, with chapters offering diagrams, charts, and plenty of visual examples. Computer libraries strong in PHP5 or MYSQL need this.

    Of the numerous books on php for beginners, I think this is the best I have perused.

    Good explanations of everything and good overviews to get the general picture. I would highly recommend PHP and MySQL by Example.

    I often see 1 star reviews for textbooks I have used and think that the reviewers must be too picky, or they are outright wrong. Oftentimes the 1 star reviews for programming books come from those who the learning style doesn’t appeal to, and often to either well-experienced programmers or total beginners. This was not the case with this book. It was a required book for my class and, two weeks into the semester, I am basically chucking it and hoping for the best buying another and matching it to the syllabus. There is the fact that it is somewhat outdated, but this is a minor fact. There is the greater problem that concepts are brought up with no explanation and no reference to how they relate to what the book is handling at the time, but even this I could grudgingly deal with. What is completely atrocious about this book is the number of errors. I’m not talking minor typos, either. This book screws up syntax in the code constantly. It is so bad, and so frequent, that any example the book makes has to be evaluated line by line, because it seems that it screws up almost as often as it gets it right. I’m not kidding. I would bet (uneducated guess, because I give up with it) that a good 25% of the examples used would not even run due to errors. I’ve never ripped a textbook this bad before and hopefully never will have to again, but this book is, to me, ABSOLUTELY worthless as a teaching tool.

    I purchased this as the required textbook for a class on PHP / My SQL. I have suggested to the instructor that he find a different book for future classes.

    Some people may like the “By Example” format, but I don’t. It tends to limit your ability to write code to what you’ve seen examples of. In many cases, the book doesn’t delve into the nuts and bolts of different commands and functions for you to do much but blindly copy the authors’ examples. And THAT’S when the problems start.

    As many other reviewers have noted, the book is riddled with typos and errors. For a new student, especially one without a deep programming background, these could be extremely frustrating. Is my code wrong? Or did I copy one of the authors’ mistakes? I have done a fair amount of programming so I was able to catch a lot of the mistakes while reading.

    This does not include the many simple spelling errors that should have been caught by a spell-checker.

    The worst chapter of the book by far was Chapter 6 on String Functions. An alarming number of the “Format” sections (where the authors BRIEFLY explain the function and its arguments) and the code examples had some type of error(s) in them. My personal favorite is the “str_ireplace()” function. In the section header, it is spelled “stri_replace()”. In the text of the section it is spelled “stri_replace()” and “str_ireplace()” in different places. Finally, to hedge their bets, the function is listed in the Index as “stri_ireplace()”! This is just one of MANY MANY examples.

    Also, the book is printed all in grayscale. The lack of color inhibits readability.

    The back cover of the book says that the book “illuminates every concept with tested code examples…”. After reading (most) of the book, there is no way this is a completely accurate statement.

    A final complaint is the writing style. The authors sometimes repeat the same, or similar text, a maddening number of times as you are reading through a topic. They really would have benefited from a more critical editor.

    In summary, I don’t like the format or the visual appearance of the book, I’m not wild about the “By Example” concept, and the book has too many errors to be taken seriously.
