Thanks.
It was not my intention to engage in some heated debates, just I get surprised sometimes how people can "insult" you or deduce things like whether you know how to use google or not etc.
Thanks for the book anyway, but I think I won't be concentrating on PHP anymore. changed my plans. if i need it i know now where to start from.
best regards.

I doubt the Google suggestion was intended as an insult. That said, there are huge resources available for any discipline, not just computing with PHP, alas, there are plenty individuals who just can't be bothered to do their own research. This is confirmed if you look at most programmer forums here and elsewhere. Like I said, I don't think our colleagues reference to Google was intent on offending you, and neither is this posting.

This guy cannot even spend a minute to check for lots of stuff that would be helpful. Next, he will ask for a good site to get a project!

While my comments may be seen as inflammatory, they were also half-joking.
I have responded to a post I have seen as improperly written, and to your second post as inflammatory to a member directing you to read the FAQs. We care a lot about that, and we don't like people coming in to ask without doing their own homework first, or showing what they've tried and where they've failed.
Had you stated what you did in your second post, I would've actually given you a 5. I am giving one to you now for explaining better what you actually wanted.
You are also a new user to this site. I recommend you take a look in Q&A so as to understand what members here are dealing with every day, and maybe cut them some slack as well (and by this I mean Richard, not me, as am I am also a relatively new member).
As to your last question,
Stephan A. wrote: How long do you think it could take to learn it
the answer is - it varies. If you do master some programming basics, it won't take you very long to master a mid-level understanding of it, PHP is not that hard. All it takes is the willingness and motivation to do it.

And how do you define "good"? You can ask this question of a lots of people and get lots of answers, many of which will be wrong for you because they are either too basic or too advanced. You really need to do your own initial research when trying to learn a new subject, rather than expecting others to do it for you.

ok. let's skip it it is not worth it anymore, I am not going to continue it anymore.
I'm not sure what you meant with that "words fail me", in any case, I had asked a simple question and wanted a simple answer. Maybe I had to better formulate that I was actually looking for a good book (of course there exists notion of good book, i.e., one that is popular and well received in the community - I think I didn't say anything new here). What I meant more particularly with good book, could be a book that is: easily comprehensible, covers sufficiently many details etc. anyway.....

I mean, why have you been making all this fuss when you had no intention of learning PHP in the first place?
