PHP5 Application Design

I'm wondering if any you have read anything on designing a web application in PHP5 -- books or on the web. Not the "how to code php" stuff or even how to code "PHP 5 OO". I'm looking for how to use PHP5 to create a web app: design, file structure, application layers, and so forth.

Specifically I'm thinking about view/command control/buisness logic/data layers and an indepth discussion on what would be found in said layers. Planning and carrying out an application -- this sorta stuff.

Recomendations?

I would recomment looking at state-of-the-art, by which I mean see what they are doing in the Zend Framework, Cake, Symphony, etc. I think you will find a lot in common. It would be great if you could let us know what you find.

check out PHP 5 Professional from WROX. This book assumes you already know PHP so only goes into building a web application (not just OOP).
