PHP books - is PHP6 necessary?

[Marcia]

I'm deciding between a few, and one has PHP6 included. Is that necessary, or will it just be confusing?

[coopster]

PHP6 is still in development so I am taking a wild jab here but the chapters/writing dedicated to PHP6 are likely high-level reading or introduction. Unicode support is the biggest news surrounding PHP6 to date that I recall -- and probably what the "PHP6 included" portion of the writings.

If this area interests you and you are ready/willing to submit yourself to using and testing a development bundle you can set up PHP6 and play in that sandbox while you read and learn.
