It doesn't teach PHP in a formal way, but there is a full chapter that covers all the basics of PHP. Thereafter, you learn by doing, which is often the best way.

You appear to have several great books covering PHP. How does one decipher which book is best for them? I do have Dreamweaver CS4 and have a hosting account all set up and want very much to get the wheels turning on learning this programming language. Which one of your books would you recommend for me?

How does one decipher which book is best for them? I do have Dreamweaver CS4 and have a hosting account all set up and want very much to get the wheels turning on learning this programming language.

Which one of your books would you recommend for me?

I'm finding a table I've set up under one of the contents areas within the tabbed panel is performing oddly. I can link a picture or word to another detail page in the design view. Then save all, then preview in IE. When tested the link will work the first try, then fail on subsequent attempts. Also, things that aren't linked, appear to be linked (blue underline) but don't go anywhere when tried. Any suggestions are welcome! me again – encountering new phenomena under the Spry Tabbed panels linking.

Guess what - I'm such a newbie, I forgot to copy the SpryURLUtils.js to my Spry Assets folder in the site!! Everything worked like a charm once I did that! (Dope...!) Dawn. PS - I am very happy I bought the book - you're going to make me look brilliant! Yes! Guess what – I’m such a newbie, I forgot to copy the SpryURLUtils.js to my Spry Assets folder in the site!!

If you want to return from the detail page to the page with the tabbed widget, it takes you to the panel 0, instead of the panel you need to return to. Searching lead me to your site & I've bought the book, as it looks to be what I'll need for many things. I followed the steps on pgs 336-340 for fixing the problem with the links using SpryURLUtils.js, etc, but now none of my tabs work when I preview in IE. I thought the steps made sense and the code hints show no errors - but very obviously I've done something seriously wrong! Any thoughts you have that might help me out will be greatly appreciated! I'm very much a newbie at this and maybe shouldn't have thought I could use the Spry tabbed widget - although it worked really nicely until the links bit. (sigh) Dawn.

Thus, I purchased your DW4 book from Amazon. I have downloaded the code for the DW4 book. However when I try to open or unzip the file, I get an error message "The compress folder in invalid or corrupted". Have you heard of anyone else experiencing this problem. I have never had issues with unzipping / extracting files before. Thanks. David, I provide all of your comments in the Dreamweaver forum very useful. Thus, I purchased your DW4 book from Amazon.

I'm not writing a book on the Zend Framework myself; but I acted as the technical reviewer for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1430218258?ie=UTF8&tag=japaninterfac-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1430218258" rel="nofollow">Beginning Zend Framework</a> by Armando Padilla, which should be available later this month. I haven't seen the final revisions of the book, but I found it much better than other books that I have read on the Zend Framework. The case study that Armando bases his book on is much simpler than the complex ones I have seen elsewhere. As a result, you get a better feeling for how the Zend Framework works, rather than being distracted by adding lots of bells and whistles. Thanks, Alex.

I have learned a lot from you. I'm truly indebted to you. I'm wondering whether you will be witting a book on Zend Framework. I've recently bought 2 books and I'm very disappointed. you might as well probably teach those apparently "authors" to write books about computers... Thanks again Alex Dear Mr Powers,
