# To be honest,
It's the only website design book I've actually read, most of what I've learnt comes from the net as and when I need it, and hours of trial and error, heh.

Getting into PHP at the minute and could use a paper manual, any reccomendations?

# A classic
Welling and Thomson: PHP and MySQL for Web Development. Loved that book.

# I've not read their php one,
but I tend to find the Quickstart books are very good at giving a quick, simple overview (as the name suggests) and don't scare you off by starting with loads of pages about configuring servers.

the online documentation is the best. combined with the comments. better than any other language's documentation. you'll learn alot
