Chaos, just use the php.net website, considering those are the people that made php. And just post in the coding forum any questions you have about php, and i or someone else will be happy to answer it.

There's a place where I live called 1/2 Price Books. I just picked up Programming PHP by O'Reilly for $9.95 and Hacking Linux Exposed v2 for $14.98 (usually $49.99) 712 pages of linux exploits, hacks and what to do about 'em. *drool* I spent 2 hours in a corner at this place looking through all the beautiful books.

Moral of the story. Check used or discount bookstores.

Downloads/textfiles/PHP on this site has an O'Reilly book as well as other PHP texts.

On Windows, a CHM file can be extracted to plain HTML with the command:

Code: Select all

hh.exe -decompile extracted filename.chm
