　　Overview

　　This book offers straightforward practical answers when you need fast results．By working through each 10-minute lesson, you'll learn what you need to begin to use the PHP scripting language to make your websites interactive and dynamic．

　　Review

　　When I first laid eyes on this book and its title．Teach Yourself PHP in 10 minutes, my first thought was that I was going to see this．So I opened it up and figured I’d look through it for ten minutes and see what would hit me．Well, 10 minutes turned into 20, 20 into 30 and 30 into a valuable resource that sits on my desk．

　　Not only are the lessons within brief, but they are very easy to understand, well presented and very easy to understand for the beginners．Each lesson comes with tips to point out shortcuts, cautions to help you avoid common mistakes and notes to additional information．This book can be used in two ways, as a reference or as a complete tutorial on PHP basics．That alone is something that is very rare in teaching type books these days．

　　Some of the more valuable and informative lessons will take you into the areas of：

　　－Strings and variables

　　－Processing HTML forms

　　－Controlling and filtering data

　　－User authentication

　　－Cookies and sessions

　　－Security practices

　　－Configuring PHP and more!!!

　　The book is pretty basic for experienced PHP coders, but for new or intermediate users this book is worth more than the small ＄19.99 CAN suggested price．Although the cover suggests it covers PHP 5.0, the coding found within also applies to PHP 4．X

　　Conclusion

　　This book completely surprised me with its value and does indeed teach you in ten minutes what other books claim to do in 24 hours．Full marks to author Chris Newman for this handy guide．

　　Have you read " 'To Kill a Mockingbird’ The only navel by Harper Lee offers moral lessons about racial justice and respect．It tells the story of a young girl named Scout and her father, Atticus Finch, a lawyer．He defends a black man．

　　Tom Robinson wrongfully accused of raping(强奸)a white woman．In the end, an all-white- jury(陪审团)sentences Tom Robinson to death．

　　The book is set in the American, South in the 1930s．

　　But it came out on July11^th, 1960 as the civil rights movement in the United States was gaining strength．

　　Laws and customs in the South, however, still kept blacks and whites mostly separated．

　　A mockingbird is a land of gray songbird．The book gets its, title from something Atticus Finch was told in his childhood when his father gave him a gun．Atticus Finch said, "I remember when my daddy first gave me that gun, he．told me that I should never point at anything in the house, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted, if I could hit them．But remember, it was a sin(罪过)to kill a mockingbird, for they don't hurt anyone, they just make music．"

　　Some people said, " 'To Kill a Mockingbird' treats racism in a way that is simplisite(过分单纯化的), even offensive to blacks, and out of date in today's, America．" Still, it has been translated into more than forty languages and has sold over forty million copies．It is often required reading in high schools．Harper Lee won a Pulitzer Prize in America in 1961 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom of the United States for her contribution to literature in 2007．

　　The story takes place in a town that Harper Lee called Maycomb．But she based the characters on real people she knew growing up．Since then her hometown Monroeville has changed a lot．A number of African-Americans serve m the local government．The courthouse, made famous by the book, is now a museum．A small shop and a fast-food restaurant called Mel's Dairy Dream have replaced Harper Lee's childhood home．
