Praise for Core PHP Programming
"Bought your book Core PHP Programming at a Barnes and Noble here in Tucson. Normally I absolutely hate books in terms of learning, preferring instead to sort of just mess around with something with online docs until I know it, but your book is exceptional. I was telling my girlfriend about it; it's concise and thorough without being annoyingly wordy, and it is a spiffing reference for PHP, which I'm sort of teaching myself from the ground up.
The simple act of buying your book affirms all of the essential aspects of capitalism—I got more out of it than what I paid for it, and I assume you are reaping windfalls that made all the work worth it. You should be proud. I have a whole stack of books that I abandoned because they were organized badly.
I have recommended it unhesitatingly to hacker-minded (in the good sense) friends. I have MySQL running here now, and I shall actively seek out your book on that subject in coming months when I have time.
Best wishes to you, and hope for your continued success." —Chris Hizny
"I am a Web designer/developer in NYC. I just want to let you know that I just purchased your book, Core PHP Programming, 2nd Edition, and I think it is wonderful!!! Very easy to read—and retain—so far . . . I just want to thank you ahead of time because all the other PHP books I've purchased and read got me nowhere!" —Neal Levine

"Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed your book, very well done, I am learning a lot from it, Congratulations on an excellent book!

"First of all, I want to say that your book Core PHP Programming is a Great book with clear examples. This is the book that learned me PHP a couple of years ago. Now I'm much more experienced and created a PHP 4 template class recently, called TemplatePower. You're probably very busy, but if you find a little time, could you take a look at it? I would be very pleased. You can read more about it at http://templatepower.codocad.com/." —Ron

"You write very clearly and succinctly, which is a rare gift among programmers. My copy is looking fairly tired now—time for a second edition? A bit more on the built-in session manager would be good, also some examples of using the PHP extensions, e.g., ming, would be useful. I have adopted your dynamic selection boxes to use as a function, and wondered whether you would be interested in putting it on your code exchange site?" —Dr. Tom Hughes
