Hiii Which is the best book on PHP & Mysql(not any Online tutorial or e-books) that I can purchase offline from a bookstore.I have only basic knowledge of C programming. Also,what is the best book on HTML(I mean Offline resources & not e-books)? I have searched the forum but could not find a exact answer to my questions.So I post this here. If anyone kindly guide me I will be greatly obliged. Thanks in advance.
Average one more 4 star from me and one more review that its good book. Also did you see any bad review about the book.
Yes,I saw some bad reviews too.Some reviews in Amazon.com are very bad... I quote here 3 bad reviews(refer-- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/cu...283155&qid=1188923201&sr=8-10#customerReviews)
I am not sure but when I am looking to start on PHP I found it useful. I always have the script to start with and its always the case that I need to Trouble Shoot and so I like the book.
My other best book. Mastering PHP 4.1 with CDROM (Paperback) > I would still prefer to buy the first one. I have both of them as of now.
Sir, Thank you for your advice. But one last clarification-I have read in the amazon.com reviews that the book has many errors in its codes and materials...is it true?
Now I have not run and debug all its codes and if you find anything that should be a challenge to solve it. I normally use any programming language book as an handbook and nothing more than that. Programming cannot be learned by reading but by doing it.
The book I always recommend is the PHP Developers Cookbook (http://www.amazon.co.uk/PHP-Develop...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196615033&sr=1-3). It has great examples, from database connection to shopping basket programming. This book is not, however, a "quick fix" book - you need to sit down, read and absorb. Once finished, you will have all the examples you need in developing some great applications.
