  • Book recommendations please (PHP, MySQL, JS etc)

    Title says it all. We need to stock up with some good references on the above. Anyone have any favourites?

    Thanks

    T.

    Edit: And does anyone have an opinion on www.sitepoint.com and the book 'Build your own database driven website using PHP & MySQL' by Kevin Yank? They push it very hard (as you would expect).

    Edit: Adding IIS & Apache to the list.

    Anything O'Reilly is generally pretty good.

    And the "in a nutshell" series can be good introductions.

      I'm kinda partial to the wrox books, but for PHP the best reference is the PHP manual, available as a Windows Help File from the PHP folks themselves.

      I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
      If only life were as easy as you
      I would still get screwed

        Assuming you use DMX for starting with PHP and MySQL this is not a bad book, although you do have to check the online Errata.

        Only PHP and MySQL book I have ever read and I have nearly finished converting my site from HTML. (It used to be 4500 pages. lol)

          I found the following book very useful although I have the first edition, but I guess the second should be even better

          When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

            Sam`s Teach Yourself PHP in 24hrs (i know how 24hrs sounds, but paired with the PHP manual, you`d be on your way in no time flat)

                Also "Kane and Abel" by Jeffry Archer is quite good.

                Or maybe not
