Very good introduction to PHP. I really liked the WAMPSERVER software package that he recommends which includes PHP, MySQL, Apache server, ect. It's a very easy way to practice writing PHP on your home computer, without the need for a ISP.

The Book is somewhat not for the beginners though, When I'm Reading it. It feels more like an overview of something. I enjoyed it a lot. you can finish it with one sitting. Gives you a glimpse of the Battle ahead of you when you want to learn the language.
