What's a good advanced OO PHP book?

Post by zeek »

I have been searching on-line, but the ones that look good are all out of stock. Can anyone recommend a book that they have actually read and found useful for advanced Object Oriented programming in PHP? Something that is not always on back-order like 'PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice' is. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Also, a good advanced mySQL book recommendation would also be appreciated, Thanks.

Just FYI...

PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice is available at most libraries since the publisher decided this is one of the few "new" computer books they were going to allow to be released to public libraries. So if you are having trouble finding it in retail... check out your local libary.

Visit the PHP Architect books page. They have a lot of good references. So does Sitepoint.

i personally like PHP Professional from Wrox. It assumes you know PHP and gets into the more advanced areas of programming general. Many of the sections are actually relevant to most languages.
