    Begginer in PHP

    Hi,

    I'm going to start scripting with PHP. I have a good understading of
    programming languages and have done it for years.

    Right now I'm seeking an advice on a book that can get me started
    quick and straightforward . I am a bit in tight time frame, so books
    like bible php 5 won't really help me.

    So thanks in advance.

    Well, why not go down to your local Buns & Noodle or Borders and check
    out what they have on php? Then buy it on-line. Clearly, you're the
    best judge of what books will work for you.

    I like O'Reilly's PROGRAMMING PHP and THE PHP ANTHOLOGY (both volumes),
    but of course, YMMV.

      With your background, you probably don't need to buy *any* books, at least
      at this time; just reading PHP's on-line manual and writing practice code
      should get you up and running. Once you're there, you might want to
      consider books for further study; at that point I'd suggest you go to a
      bookstore and browse a bunch of books (you'll have the right experience to
      evaluate them by then). The O'Reilly book that's been recommended by
      others in this thread is, IMHO, good, though by that time you might find
      that you're more interested in a "cookbook" than an introduction.
