Nice little reference for anyone who already knows how to program, but might not know PHP. For anyone else, this isn't really going to help. There seems to be no explanation of _why_ you would want to do anything here or even how it relates to a goal. Who is your audience?

IMHO, I think the audience is me. I can program (perl, java, c++). I know that php is easy but that there are many traps. I need a book to be able to develop quickly with sane practices. The official documentation contains too much old crust.
Too much old crust, but as other commenters around indicate, this isn't really solving that either: it doesn't talk about best practices or even highlight where the sharp edges are (EOLs and Namespaces are mentioned elsewhere).
This was my same takeaway thumbing through. I think I'll take the weekend to grok PHP a bit better.

Thanks for publishing this op!
