Free PHP & MySQL: The Missing Manual
I bought the first edition of this book, it was full of errors. O'Reilly was good and sent me the 2nd edition; that book version still had errors. I've reached a point in this book where I simply couldn't get the code to work. I have even tried to download the code from the missing manuals, and it didn't work either. I am sick of having to look through the errata pages to make sure it was something the author mistook or overlooked.
This book suffers from poor quality control. It shouldn't have been released with this many errors. Even the files available for download have errors in them. For example, I had to correct the link to the images in the phpMM.css file for chapter nine.
I am not a novice computer user so imagine how people who are novice users or aspiring PHP coders feel when they can't get something from the book to work correctly.
Buyer beware! Buy this book only if enjoy frustration.

I'm a fan of this O'reilly series, but I avoided the first version of this particular title due to the many negative reviews here and elsewhere. Upon the release of the 2nd Edition, which came within a year (rather quickly in the world of software books), I went ahead and purchased it, hoping the kinks were worked out. I am happy to report that this is a title worthy of the "Missing Manual" moniker.
I wouldn't say this book could server as a primer to PHP/MySQL newbies, but for those who may have read one or more other books on the topic and still feel that there are loose ends or dots that need to be connected, this is an excellent publication.
While some may question the approach of showing how something shouldn't be done before revealing how it should be done, I find this natural for programming. One often explores many paths before deciding on the best solution; working through that thought process is critical to art of programming.
Whereas other tutorial-style books often tend to glaze over supplementary but highly relevant related information, here the author uses callout boxes to shed light on these areas and help the reader understand the larger picture.
The code that accompanies the book can be downloaded from the Missing Manuals website, and is as error-free as I've come across in programming titles. Furthermore, the code is immediately useful in your own projects and is easily adaptable.
My sole issue with the book is that the author spends perhaps a bit too long dwelling on error pages and their necessity, perhaps a lengthy discussion of this topic is more appropriate for a UI or UX book. But that is a minor quibble, as overall this is the best title I've read so far for PHP/MySQL. Well done!
