Summary: A worthy update to an already great book
Review: This time around Leon Atkinson teamed up with Zeev Suraski, one of the PHP project's team members and co-developer of the Zend Engine -- the scripting language that powers PHP. Structurally, the book is laid out very much the same as it's predecessor. There are four parts followed by several appendices. This format works well and is easy to navigate. The layout has a more polished look to it.One of the many things I really enjoy about this book are the examples that are provided, they are concise but well thought out and usually show related functions that help with code generation. As a heavy Index user I am happy to say that this one doesn't disappoint. Some effort was put into organizing this information, for people like me, to thumb through and find things quickly. The book has been updated to include the full features for PHP 5. This is good for those of us who have dealt with feature creep over the years and get stumped by subtle changes in the way functions work. I highly recommend this book. It is a great resource for the PHP programmer regardless of skill level.
