I use PHP at work since release 3. I used to read everything I could to really understand this language. Since release 4.xx, I could'nt really do that, I had not enough time. So, I saw in Robert Treat's book an opportunity to get back on track with PHP. And I can say I'm not at all disappointed. I learned quite a few things really interesting, but more on the PHP side. For example, I didn't know that we could create custom session handlers.

Well, I think it's a great book for people beginning with PHP and people, like me, who just want an overview of new functionnalities brought by the latest releases. But I still think we miss a book an advanced PostgreSQL administration... I just hope this is what Sébastien Lardière is going to bring us (sorry... link to a french blog... he says that no recent books are available in french, last one didn't cover release 8, no PostgreSQL book specifically targets administration, and that he's writing a new book in french on PostgreSQL8 administration which should be available in a few months).

Not totaly unrelated... I've send two patchs for phpPgAdmin, I hope they'll be applied soon. I also sent a mail on pgsql-docs explaining what the french team did to get a manual in PDF with FOP. Today, I'll try to see how we can fix the issue with standalone statement.
