I've been using Zeev & Leon Atkinson's _Core_PHP_Programming_ since
5beta1 was out. It was extremely helpful, and I still refer to it on a
regular basis. Just ignore the section on namespace support, if they
haven't had a revised printing yet.

http://www.eyrolles.com/Informatique/Livre/9780130463463/livre-core-php-programming.php

eyrolles has it listed at 65,00 EUR, and I'd swear by it.

I also recommend this book. It covers the new OO model of PHP5 very well.

I've also read this book (*almost* cover to cover) and it is quite excellent. 
However, it definitely assumes that you understand the basics already and don't 
need hand holding.  So if you've been doing some programming in PHP4 and are 
looking for a book to make the move to PHP5, then this is an excellent book.

And then there is Learning PHP5 (from O'Reilly), which I should go for.

I bought "Core PHP Programming", 3rd edition. It is written by Leon Atkinson
together with Zeev "Zend" Suraski. The foreword is by Andi "also Zend"
Gutmans.

It covers PHP5 and, in my view, is very good and real easy to read.

Yes i meant for production use, i run a few machines at home, the main
internet gateway is a bsd box which serves to the net. I have an internal
dev box on knoppix, both are running apache 2, php 4.3, mysql 4.1 and
another instance of apache 2 running php5 and mysql 5 :D

I havent really played with the nested queries yet sadly, needs some time,
i hope it does what i was expecting it to do, like do a select query in the
second query from an id in the first one and then select those returned
into a string, saves having to do one resultset in another, hopefully that
didnt sound confusing ??

Its a terrible annoyance waiting for open source code to mature, you just
wish you could help out in some way to speed up the process. It did say
views was in 5.0, now its 5.1, stored procedures and triggers will be in 5.
I'm sure there is a work around creating temporary tables ? I've never used
msql before so what exactly benificial will views have ? I'm hanging out
for 4.1 so i can do nested queries.
