PHP has a pretty extensive API, and since I don't use it as often as some other frameworks, this has been an invaluable resource for me. The only thing that could have made it more useful, I think, is if it had been grouped by functionality rather than throwing all the prototypes together in alphabetical order. While this is fine when I know the name of the method I'm looking for, sometimes that isn't the case, and I often end up having to go back to the PHP online documentation. ( )

Completely obsolete, but I love this format of O'Reilly books-- the pocket reference, complete, but with just the most basic information presented usefully. The best ones always have battered spines, dog-eared pages, and post-it notes all through them-- the book as programming tool. As online manuals have become the norm, this kind of book is dying out. Sad, really, though inevitable. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0596004028, Paperback)

Simple, to the point, and compact--in fact, exactly what you've come to expect in an O'Reilly Pocket Reference--the second edition of PHP Pocket Reference is thoroughly updated to include the specifics of PHP 4. Written by the founder of the PHP Project, Rasmus Lerdorf, PHP Pocket Reference is both a handy introduction to PHP syntax and structure, and a quick reference to the vast array of functions provided by PHP. The quick reference section organizes all the core functions of PHP alphabetically so you can find what you need easily; the slim size means you can keep it handy beside your keyboard for those times when you want to look up a function quickly without closing what you're doing. This valuable little book provides an authoritative overview of PHP packed into a pocket-sized guide that's easy to take anywhere. It is also the ideal companion for O'Reilly's comprehensive book on PHP, Programming PHP. The PHP Pocket Reference an indispensable (and inexpensive) tool for any serious PHP coder.
