Completely new to PHP? Tried PHP out a little bit, but never understood it? Like to increase your knowledge of PHP even further? Or are you just after a quick reference of the tags and their properties? If you answered YES to any of these above questions, Spring Into PHP 5 is the book for you.

Spring Into PHP 5 provides the reader with a simple, yet very comprehensive coverage of the PHP code. All "snippets" of code are explained to show you HOW and WHY they are being used. I found this very useful, as I could understand why I was using a certain tag, as opposed to another.

The book is split into nine chapters, each explaining and providing examples of different ways in which PHP can be implemented and manipulated. These chapters are followed up with two appendixes: PHP Language Elements, providing you with the correct way to apply the most common PHP tags, and PHP Function Reference, this being as the name suggests, a reference to all the functions available in PHP.

Spring Into PHP 5 is a very good, detailed and easy to use reference book for anyone that is involved with PHP.
