Re: PHP in a nutshell
The last time I was reading a book/text book was 3 years ago after I've graduated from a local university. After that, Internet is my only book
 I know that there is a pro's and cont's with books and I might buy some books too for detailed learning on scripting language or databases. The one you posted ^ seems like a good one for me to start finding. Thanks.. Cheers...

Re: PHP in a nutshell
Don't go with the Dummies series.
'Creating your Own Database Driven Website in 30 days' By Kevin Yank is what I used. 'Programming PHP' by O'Reilly is good as well.

Re: PHP in a nutshell

Re: PHP in a nutshell
Step by Step series also is like dummies
There are a lot of internet manuals for php programing you can try some first and then decide which book to buy.
