I am looking for two good books: a php4 one and a php4 with db one. I
see that "Beginning PHP4" and "Beginning PHP4 Databases" are a series
but "Beginning PHP4" got a bad review on amazon regarding outdated code.
Looking for suggestions...

Where to get the information
Luckily there is a lot of information out there on how to program PHP,
some of the best are:
* Zend.com: Obviously. You're reading this article, right??
* Professional PHP: One of the best overall books on PHP, good for
non-programmers and programmers alike.
* Web Application Development with PHP: A great book teaching both
the concepts in Web development as well as some of PHP's more advanced
features. Contains the official Zend API documentation.
* The PHP Developer's Cookbook: A solutions oriented book covering
the common problems that PHP developers encounter (Coming out November
2000, written by myself with Andrei Zmievski).
i personally can tell you I'm now reading "Web Application Development
with PHP" though it's quite obsolete by now (talks about php4) it's a
excellent book for a php beginner, you do need some programing
background for feeling comfortable with it but a very basic one: know
the syntax of a C program learn basic SQL syntax and you'll be ok,
guaranteed. also after i finish this one i plan to go read "The PHP
Developer's Cookbook" because i hared it's a excellent book also.
happy reading,
