I guess I'm just curious... I am an active poster here and on SitePoint's PHP Application Development, but I don't have any other sites I vist regularly. Where do people go to read about/share advanced topics relating to PHP? (OOP, Application Design, etc.) Could be forums, blogs, articles, etc...

There are several blogs I follow. Most are also followed by
http://www.phpdeveloper.org/
so if you check that site out you'll find many interesting PHP blogs

And then there are the blogs of well-known figures within the PHP community like
Ilia Alshanetsky http://ilia.ws/
Chris Shiflett http://shiflett.org/
http://derickrethans.nl/

And THE most important blog of all
http://blog.astrumfutura.com/

Thank you, matt :)

inghamm, I feel this forum is for discussing stuff, but for someone who is looking to passively read and learn, there isn't much material... right?

@allspiritseve - Perhaps I am not the only one to notice the need for more advanced discussion ...

I too hang out at SP, and one of the things I really mourn is the loss of all the good conversations that used to go on in the PAD forum - hence I am over here again actually - this forum seems to have a much wider array of topics.

I don't know what happened over there but it is really sad, the PAD forum used to be chockablock with really interested topics about all kind of advanced subjects and vivid discussion about many types of Design Patterns, best practice etc and still remains one of the best places to look things up ...

But something went wrong, they lost the key gurus, and it seemed to get bogged down in countless repetitive MVC discussions and bickering about frameworks.

I really miss it. So, maybe like allspiritseve, I am left wondering "where did all the good conversation (passionate arguments and debates) go?"

Perhaps it all moved to ROR, along with all the gurus?

ROR? Ruby on Rails?
