Hi all,
Alas I have had to resort to posting in the general discussion forum about book recommendations. Googling and forum search have not been fruitful.
Im after a book that is PHP based that provides intermediate knowledge and when I say intermediate I mean just getting into the OO side of things. I dont mind if there are a few chapters on the beginner stuff but I am certainly looking for a book that will deliver the next level to me.
I'd like the book to be able to walk me through PHP development perhaps providing examples to work through.
Any suggestions?
This sounded good: Beginning PHP 5 and MySQL 5: From Novice to Professional

On no not another "what book" question!

You might want to look at this review of my book by Harry Fuecks, the author of the phppatterns website. The book was written without any introduction to OOP, but with a goal of communicating design patterns and test driven development as practices.

I've got Jason's book. It's well written, and interesting, and worthwhile getting hold of for when you're moving up from simply using OO coding to using patterns. My only criticism is that it tries to introduce a lot of different things at once (patterns, TDD, advanced object stuff). I'd have prefered the TDD stuff to have been a bit more seperate coz I only have a tiny brain.
Oh, and there's a spelling mistake on page 65 ( "protected ClacRent() method" ).
