[PHP] Advanced books

2002-02-14 Thread Jackson Miller

I am looking for advanced books on PHP.  I have read many tuts and a
couple of books, but I am looking for a big heavy detailed book on php
and everything about coding php.

any suggestions are welcomed.

Aside from learning by doing, there's an old adage that nothing teaches 
code like code. What about the articles at Zend? Download TWIG or PHPNuke 
or PostNuke and examine the code.

The problem with everything, is that yours differs from mine. Example, I 
work mostly with straight-ahead data processing, and my everything 
revolves around SQL and processing arrays. Others work with image 
libraries, someone else might want to generate PDF's from returned data sets.

If I was going to expand my everything I'd probably investigate OO 
classes more comprehensively, but I have a gut feel that's not necessary 
and procedure libraries are nore than adequate. Or consider how patterns 
could be worked up in PHP.

I've not addressed the Book question yet -- probably something from WROX, 
If SAMS has a PHP Unleashed , or HDG a PHP Bible those should be quite 
comprehensive.

Now, back to VB -- sigh!!
