Being new to PHP and MySQL, I really wanted a book that gave me all the details and then some. I definitely got that with Beginning PHP and MySQL 5, Second Edition. I was interested to review this book because I knew that the author, W. Jason Gilmore is an expert on the subject with over six year experience. Mr. Gilmore did not disappoint me, this is a well detailed book containing over 860 pages which are spread over 37 chapters.

A book for anyone starting to work with PHP and MySQL. This is my 3rd time using the Visual QuickPro series to learn about a web related topic. Every time I'm impressed with the ease at which the book teaches the given topic.

In the PHP book you start out with an introduction to PHP and MySQL. Which is nice for those of us who are just now diving into web programming. If you are well versed in the topic that's ok too. The book is broken into clear chapters that allow those who don't need to start from the beginning can jump right in on the topic of their choice.
