Best PHP programming books

Post by webgenius »

I need someone to tell me the best PHP programming books for a programming novice like myself. I'm very good at web designing, but I want to get into real-time development. Kindly help me out.

I read the PHP Bible, Edition 2. I'd recommed it to anyone. It utilizes heredoc - a point that proves it's a great book ;).
