Hey whats up everyone, Im a newbie to PHP so I just went out and bought a book called SAMS Teach Yourself PHP
(3rd edition)
Does anyone know if this book is any good?
let me know what you think.

I bought SAMS teach yourself PHP, Apache and SQL in 24 hours and it is very good. I've seen the book you're talking about but decided to go with this one because of the added sections on Apache, I don't use mySQL anyway. I have C++ background which made it easier, but after reading that book, I feel confident in taking on a PHP project of any size.

that is good, ive started reading the book and so far it is making sense

I did not get the book with the apache and mysql because my boyfriend already has that stuff set up on the server becauce he runs php nuke and I just said Oh forget Nuke Im gonna just learn the language ...
