PHP Programming Books (Free)

PHP Programming Books (Free)

These are a few PHP Books and resources that I have come across using the best search engine in the world. Just thought i'd post it here.

Most of the books here are free and not pirated. Some of them are available for free only in the digital format and not in hard print format.

I have listed the books in an ascending order, such that the first book is for beginners and the last book is for advance programmers.


Without further ado..,

1. PHP Essentials (Source:techotopia)
      This version of the wiki book isnt the full version, but its pretty good for a beginner.


2. Practical PHP Programming (Source:TuxRadar)
    A very good book for beginner to intermediate php coders, assumes no previous php programming knowledge.


3.  PHP Cookbook (Source:Oreilly)
     The PHP Cookbook is a collection of problems, solutions, and practical examples for PHP programmers.


4. PHP Power Programming (Source: InformIT)

PS: For day to day reference of HTML, CSS and PHP, AJAX, you can head over to w3schools.
