Thorough, informative, and confusing!

If your new to PHP, this isn't the book for you, learning procedurally to program PHP before you delve into OOP should definitely be a beginner's plan of attack, and the concepts in this book are almost entirely OOP.

That being said, if you do want to learn OOP, then I'm sure there's something to gain from this book. I despise the wordiness and am more of a visual learner. I find charts and plenty of examples are easier to learn from.

I think the biggest drawback of this book is the lengthy explanations and $2 words. If your up for the challenge, or sincerely want to grasp PHP OOP then you should probably add this book to your collection, but don't expect it to be an easy read.
