In fact, I own no PHP books at all (whereas I do for JavaScript/HTML/CSS/SQLite) so that must say something about the quality of the on-line documentation. Further, it is written in a straightforward way, not trying to be clever (unlike some languages I could mention), so I can recommend it. It's available in languages other than English, too. > > -- > Cheers -- Tim > Thanks Tim! Should have mentioned the URL indeed. Don't forget that if you want to find the manual page for a function fast, try http://www.php.net/<function name> where <function name> is the name you're looking for, so for example for return, you could use http://www.php.net/return And there ya go, PHP manual page for return! - Matijn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
