any good suggestion on books

for beginners. I've been browsing the group for a little while. I honestly
have not gotten a book to learn php on. just wanted to learn and see what
you all were saying here. I'm not going to ask question about php since I
haven't started yet, My question I am going to ask is this. What book would
you recommend for the very beginner. I know you had to start some where ;)
Thanks in advance.

which is part of *the* worst series I've ever seen. I recommend the
`Reilly series, they're really good.

It's a pretty good book, although the series might be bad ;)

Thanks in advance.

The two I have are:

"Professional PHP Programming" by Castagnetto, et al, Wrox, ISBN 1-861002-96-3
"Core PHP Programming" by Atkinson, Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-089398-6

Both are good (and thick!) and while there's quite a bit of overlap, each has
some unique perspectives. In addition to those, I also use some educational web
sites for quick crib sheets:

<http://www.phpfreaks.com/>
<http://www.phpworld.com/>
<http://www.phpbuddy.com/>

There are others, as Google will attest
