Book Reviews of Beginning PHP5, Apache, and MySQL Web Development (Programmer to Programmer)
Book Review: This is an awful book
Summary: 1 Stars
I have read several PHP-MySQL books recently. I would not recommend purchase or even wasting time reading this book. Others have said it is very out of date with MySQL and it is, however it also has so many errors in the sample code it makes the language near impossible to learn. The downloaded code from the 'Wrox' site is no better. After 3 years on the site it hasn't been fixed. All one needs to do is look at the book's forum on the site, particularly threads about Chapter 6 and Chapter 10 to see the un-addressed errors. Readers have attempted to post fixes but often it's a case of the blind leading the blind as their fixes don't work either. This book was basically a minor rewrite of the same book published in 2004 with most of the same errors. It was also written by committee which is rarely a good book to buy. In this case the authors can stand in a circle and point left as to whose fault this rotten code is. They and the publisher apparently have no shame or sense of duty to correct the online code so the book would be useful. A new version is due in 2009 with most of the same authors but after two failures I don't see how this update will be more accurate. I did down load the Chapter 10 code of the new book and found that it works. However they did not just fix this books code, they completely rewrote the code and simplified it making it not so useful to use for this book. I know this review is very harsh but I believe it is well deserved by all those involved in publishing this book.
