That would be superb. Since there's been a dearth of "this is a great
PHP book" here on thelist, why not send it here when you've formed an
opinion?

Looks like an excellent resource. I just hate places that force me to
give them my payment info in order to get their 'free' preview, hoping
I'll be disorganized enough to forget to cancel. But it's worth
considering; thanks for the link.
