hello, All

i'm new to PHP but not to programming or dynamic web content. i
currently use ColdFusion but am looking to learn PHP. apparently,
it's cheaper to use PHP to create a website w/ dynamic content than to
find a webhosting company that supports ColdFusion.

is there any real difference between the "PHP 4 Bible":

OR the "PHP Bible, 2nd ed.":
[url]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764549553/qid=1062536274/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/102-9993127-4196136?v=glance&s=books&n=507846[/url]

the latter appears to be the newest of the two on the market.

if either of those aren't a good start, what are some other good PHP
reference books?
