One Star is too high for this book

I am really wondering who are the people they gave the book 4-5 stars...

This book is full of typo error, bug coding, wrong concepts by the following facts:

1. He propose a fingerprint concept, but actually fingerprint needs to be sent back to the user via other ways. The author makes the reader to assume that he can only md5 the user agent with a seed variable and store that in $_Session varialbe to make every work. Wrong!! Totally wrong, nobody will know your fingerprint if you don't send them back to the visitor, and it is meaningless.

2. The book really piss me off. It looks that the book was written by somebody who don't know PHP ...almost every two pages has a typo error, or even more... a script full of bugs....I read it totally once and take notes in every page, and after my reading, I start to try every code which I think is important, but I am really dispointed that they all are junk codes...and the author gave a lot of wrong concepts...for example, the chapter 5, using prev, next, current to handle array. He said if the next element in the array is (bool)False, the next function will end up. I tried it, and the author is wrong again.

It's really time-wasting in reading this kind of book. Not only waste your money, but also waste your time.
