This thick book is essentially a wordy reprint of the online manual for the PHP programming language. It's got big type and takes baby steps, and I picked it up because I was interested in a hard copy of that online documentation. But I've since found myself never referring to the thing, and quickly referring to the online version instead. Save yourself the $$ - go with the web version.
