Well, for the first edition of this book I found it extremely boring. Don't
know why really. The whole thing felt pretty old - but it isn't. Hopefully
the second ed. is much better. (I know many people like PHP Core).
Anyway, PHP Developers Cookbook (Sterling Hughes) from SAMS is very nice.
Gives lot's of examples of everyday stuff you'd like to do.
