"Awesome book. Murach's PHP and MySQL reads like a learning book but is structured in a way that makes it an excellent reference manual. The left side explanation/right side code orientation took me a little time to warm up to but is actually a much more clean layout and works much better when you are referencing."

"Along with the great organization, ease of learning,
and thorough coverage of the technologies and programming
practice, this book is simply a pleasure to read. Any
developer/techie/geek should enjoy it. A solid 5-star
rating all the way."
Jeff Salter, Developer, Sacramento, California
"As a C# developer, I needed a book that would
clear up the sometimes confusing syntax of PHP without
requiring me to wade through a lot of concepts I already
understood. This book does exactly that. Murach's unique
style of putting explanations on each left page and
corresponding examples on each right page is ingeniously
simple yet amazingly effective. I frequently scan the
sample page first and only read the explanation page
when I need further clarification. However, the explanation
page is always there if you need it. The result is a
very fast read. Also, the editing is superb. So far,
I haven't encountered any errors in the sample source
code. Excellent book."

"This is my first Murach book and I love it so much I now want to
go and buy their CSS, JavaScript, and C++ books so I
can learn even more about those languages."

"Without a doubt, this book qualifies itself as a very practical book on learning PHP in the shortest time. I would thoroughly recommend this book to all budding PHP web developers out there, including ASP.NET developers who wish to diversify into PHP."
Jason Ong, ASPNET World
"Murach books are always excellent. When I started working with PHP, I was hoping they would release a PHP book. I am thrilled with this book…. It is an excellent learning book, as it walks through all features, but it also is an excellent reference book for advanced programmers. I highly recommend this for PHP and MySQL programming."

"Compared to the stack of other PHP/MySQL titles on the market,
I found Murach to be one of the easiest and fastest
books to teach the subject. It effectively compresses
the key amounts of information required to understand
PHP programming and competently execute a solid PHP
application from scratch."
Mike Riley, Dr. Dobb's Online
