"PHP Developers Cookbook", by Sterling Hughes
I like it: as the name might suggest, it is packed with real-World examples.
I also bought "Beginning PHP Programming" (Wrox press). Mistake. Big
mistake. It is aimed at people who are *completely* new to programming. The
review that I read of it didn't convey this aspect :(
For example, in chapter 5 or 6 there is a paragraph along the lines of:
"You know that we told you to make your code reusable? Here's why: you can
use something called a function......."
I actually found it vaguely funny, whilst I was banging my head against the
wall.
