Need a PHP reference book recommendation

Hello everyone,

Can someone please recommend a good PHP reference book. I have several years of programming experience so I am not looking for a book that gets into details of control structures (loops, if-then-else...) and data types (arrays, strings...).

Rather, if I need information on how to drop a cookie, I simply go the chapter on cookies, I get a brief intro, and a list of all cookie functions with some examples...

Thanks in advance...

I learnt PHP with "PHP for Dumbies"and now I am an Expert!

Well after a bit more research from the PHP official website.

You must understand that the books do not tell you everything and most of the stuff you learn is from the internet than books in my case anyway ;-)

From my experience I've determined that there are two types of computer books. 1 - Gives you the basics of the language and sample code, usually cover basic programming topics like loops and conditions 2 - quick reference books that assume you know how to program and just provide a list of language specific functions with some examples.

I am interested in the later...

Thanks for your direction "m3rajk", I have found some good leads...
