Summary: Careless and sloppy
Comment:
I bought this book to jump start some secure PHP Web applications that I would like to develop. I spent many hours to fix the sloppy, careless and untested sample code provided.
No doubt, I am thus sorely disappointed in the Wiley Technology Publishing's promise of "Timely. Practical. Reliable." printed on both the front and back cover.
This book is anything but practical, and definitely not reliable. It could have been timely, but by the time you get the code working, it is too late to do anything useful with it. Don't waste your good money and time supporting this sloppy effort.

Summary: Very little about Secure PHP development
Comment: The book is not worth the retail price. I guess it was worth it for me since I got a used copy of the book. But this book is more about 50 random applications than about secure programming or writing better code. It would have been good if the book cut down on the application examples and maybe dump it somewhere online (only) and concentrate on making better programmers of the readers. Acutally a majority of the PHP + MySQL books today are not up to par. and that's being kind.

Summary: Simply Wonderful!
Comment: The book is simply a wonderful collection of useful applications and proper documentation of those. Everyone should keep a copy of the book, becuase it will come real handy while developing such applications. While describing the applications, the writer rightly considers reader's perspective. That, for me, was the most wonderful aspect of this book.
