Originally written as a series of articles -- this ebook is a good introduction to php,
but don't expect it to teach you everything you need to know, or act a reference -- there's the
online php manual for that.
What it does do though is take you through a series of real-webmaster examples of using
php to accomplish things you might really want to do -- like build an autoresponder,
or a quiz, or... there are lots more.
Very practical, and easy to follow - Robert explains every detail of how the code he's
showing you works. And he definitely knows what he's doing. I especially like the section
on Javascript and PHP.
