Read through it.
The downloadable manuals for php and mysql are mentioned. But there are no links, there should be links.

Else it seemed like a good starter covering most starter subjects.
The only thing that might be missing is a quick cover of what php is. I have seen people come to php forums wondering if they should choose php or css to style their page. So might be in its place to quickly just cover what php really is.

Good job!

There are links to php.net and mysql.com: I felt it was better to link to the home page since these are important sites to know about with lots of other content as well as the manuals.

There was a problem with spam which caused it to be shut down.

Hi :)

If I have missed it, my apologies, but I was wondering if there is a list of book recommendations?

Thanks :)
