What is this book about?"Beginning PHP5" is a complete tutorial in PHP5's language features and functionality, beginning with the basics and building up to the design and construction of complex data-driven Web sites. Fully functioning applications are developed through the course of the book. Other features of the book include installation guide and troubleshooting tips, introduction to relational databases, practical working examples and applications, and a detailed language reference.

I cannot recommend this book. Beside the numerous typo's which I could get through but could possibly mess up someone not familiar with the language I found the practice of using thing in exercises before they were explained to be truly troubling.
