What is a really good book?
I have been approved to buy a book under company money!! I am needing to know what a good book for PHP is. It can be a more advanced book, I can take it I promise. I am currently using PHP and MySQL Web Development and it is just not giving me enough. Please advise!
I found the O'Reilly Programming PHP book to be the most helpful I've bought.
I've also found value in the "Core PHP Programming, Third edition" book, although not nearly as much.
I personally buy books based on difficult problems I have to solve. I am fairly comfortable with most of PHP, but if I have a particularly tricky problem to solve, then I look for books that discuss it.

Thank You both
That is what I was looking for. Thanks again.
I am the same way. I am new in PHP, but not porgramming and need a good or better reference.

I find the "Bible" series of books are good with really practical examples. PHP Bible: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... s&n=507846
Search amazon.com and read user reviews for more info.
I'm a newbie to PHP and found that "Beginning PHP4" was the best choice for me, but as you said, you arent new to programming, you may want a book with some more advanced topics etc
Hope that helps somewhat.

When I first started learning PHP, I bought the PHP and MYSQL Web Development, second addition. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... s&n=507846 It was very helpful if you want to create a site with MySQL databases/login stuff...
