PHP and MySQL are highly adaptive programs that can be used to create a variety of dynamic website potentials. Although fairly simple to use once you understand the basics, the learning curve on these programs is a little high at first. In order to use the capabilities, the user has to not only understand what the programs do and how they work together. However, probably the hardest part of the process is learning all the vocabulary associated with these systems.

I can't believe how much errata made it through into publication! I ended up going to the O'Rielly site and redlining all the corrections, and my book is a big red mess now. Not only that, but I actually found *more* errata that wasn't even listed—and I'm not talking the little typos in the text, I'm talking typos or errors in the *code* examples.
Terrible, terrible... especially for a beginner trying to learn.
In regard to the readability, etc... it's okay. It got me through, but I'm not so sure ...more

This book had a lot of black holes and mysterious ways of getting to things, in short it didn't explain much. An extreme disappointment from the O'Reilly book series. To be honest I would rather set myself on fire or swallow hot coals instead of trying to use this book again. It's honestly that bad...
I picked the book up to widen my understanding of the language. Definitely recommended for those who is interested. As the title suggest, the book is great for beginners and might be too simple for those who is quite well acquinted with PHP.
Way too many errors in the code examples. I gave up trying to submit errata after the first chapter. The book isn't organized very well either.
Good intro to PHP and MySQL but the code samples are full of errors and inconsistencies.
Exactly what you would expect from an O'Reilly book: awesome.
