I have read this book, and taken a couple of the Zend PHP5 *prectice* exams, getting ready for the official PHP5 certification. When reading the book, I was happy with it. I, like Jon, found it worthy of reading. It did highlight an area or two that I, being a self taught software developer, knew that I needed work.
The pitfall to this book is that, even though it touts its self as *the* prep guide for the Zend certification, it seriously lacks a lot of the info needed to actually pass the test. If you are using it as *the* study guide, I would emphasize getting another book or two to complete your studying.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have not yet taken the actual Zend PHP5 certification test, but I have taken 2 of the official *practice* tests and, even though I passed them both, I know that I wouldn’t have if I had only relied on this one book. I believe that my 10+ years of programming, in conjunction with this, and other books, were the reason I passed.
What the book is good for is letting you see inside the mind of the test, to some degree. Giving you a feel for the various topics that the questions will revolve around.
