Stuart Herbert has posted a new book review of a new offering from Packt Publishing - "Learning PHP Data Objects" (by Dennis Popel).    The folks at Packt Publishing sent me a copy of Dennis Popel's "Learning PHP Data Objects" to review. I'd never heard of Packt before, and was intrigued.   He includes a high-level overview of what the book contains, but notes that he couldn't get a hold of the code examples mentioned in the book (no CD and couldn't find it on their site). Overall, he found it a good book - it's a good primer to PDO in PHP, but you'll need to know SQL beforehand to work with it. He suggests that it's more of a one or two time read, though - not much in the way of a reference to come back to.
