I have been putting off reading this particular PHP book, mainly because I had been beefing up my main core skills/knowledge such as OO, XML, CSS, Javascript, and didn’t see a need to check out the “recipes” in this book.
This post will be like a first draft before I post this review on Amazon.
It’s very packed full of stuff that, instead of thinking: “i might need this particularly obscure thing later, but then again probably not”, you’ll probably consider getting a lot of use out of at least 75% of the “hack” recipes eventually.
PHP - Useful, easy, fun to use. Even just at home, I use PHP along with MySql to do several things on my private Apache server on my PC, ( including an “expected shipment” list where every time I order something, I enter in the item ordered, the U.P.S. tracking number along with a link to U.P.S. website, and a checkbox to check when received.)
