From Library Journal
The bulk of this guide walks intermediate to advanced developers through specific web applications with PHP 4, an open-source competitor to technologies such as Microsoft's ASP. Projects include an online shopping cart, a message board application, a WML-enabled address book, and interactive visitor polls. The CD-ROM contains source code and other project files, saving readers from typing in pages of code to test applications. Owing to the "learn by example" method used here, this title should be added in conjunction with more basic PHP guides.

Reader Reviews
This book has several worth-while projects, including an on-line store shopping cart, a PHP information console, and an on-line address book, and a couple of others. If you already know a little PHP you can get some good examples from the book. If you're wanting learn PHP, look elsewhere. I also found it a bit $$Pricey$$ which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 4.
