Review: 
With that said, I think this book was a great purchase. Although at times, even I found that it could be very "fundamental" like some reviewers pointed out, but that word wouldn't be in the title of the book, if it weren't, now would it? And if I didn't have the prior experience with programming, then those "fundamental" sections would have been essential to understanding the rest of the book. The concepts covered in this book help ease the way for unexperienced programmers to integrate Macromedia's masterpiece with a powerful server-side script and database. This book will help you add new meaning to your "dynamic" flash sites. It presents ideas in useful/practical ways and stirs an appetite to learn more advanced PHP. On a scale of 1 to 10 on the level of Flash Advancement, I'd say this
book could improve you 2-3 points worth. I would recommend you have a
strong hold of the basics of Flash and be comfortable working with
Actionscript before tackling this book. If not, the Visual Quickpro Guide
book that I had mentioned above would be a better place to start for
improving your Flash skills.
This book gives clear and concise explanations covering the basics and fundamentals of php and how to implement them using a Flash front end. With just a little tweaking, the Flash side of things can be easily updated for MX scripting (or just leave em as they are - they still work fine in the Flash 6 player...) It assumes you have zero knowledge of php and very little knowledge of Flash. If this is an area you want to get into (and why wouldn't you?) then this book is the place to start. cheers

My expectations were a book highlighting how to blend PHP and Flash. To some extent I guess the book does that. But unfortunately there just isn't alot to it. It equates to about two lines of text: "Export variable to PHP, Import variable to Flash" - of course with the slightly more technical explanation to make it work. If you are looking for the technical "know-how" of how to make PHP and Flash talk you would be better served searching the net. About 15 - 20 minutes of research and you will be able to cull the total technical information offered in this book. If you know zilch about programming, and want to see some cute examples
of how you might use this - enjoy!
