Getting good with PHP

In Getting Good with PHP , Andrew Burgess will teach you everything you need to know about the basics of PHP . Even if you don’t have any programming experience under your belt, this easy-to-read guide will get you started with PHP in no time.
This book isn’t meant to be the super extreme, all-encompassing book which will make you become one with PHP . But if you know nothing at all about PHP and want to get comfy with it as quickly as possible, then I think this book is definitely for you. Although it won’t make you an expert, it will take you all the way to the advanced beginner state, getting you to a point where you’ll be comfortable writing PHP scripts for your own websites and ready to digest more advanced PHP topics.
