Re: [PHP] Next Book
I started off with a Core PHP4 book and quickly outgrew it. I find that most of the books don't get much past the basics either, so I find myself sticking to www.php.net and it's wonderful searchable documentation. I have read Web Application Development with PHP4.0 (http://www.phpwizard.net), which I enjoyed. While it does go into some more advanced PHP syntax, it mostly discusses application development concepts -- stuff that would be boring for any experienced programmer of other languages. I think it's geared at the people who picked PHP up as their first language (me included). I'd be interested in some good PHP books as well, I feel like I'm in a rut. At first, PHP was all new, and I was learning s much... but now if I think up a task I can visualize how to do it in PHP pretty easily. I know I have a LOT to learn, but I think my problem is I don't know proper programming techniques... Has anyone tried to expand into other languages? I like perl due to its heavy similarity to PHP, but I like to focus on web stuff. rick - Original Message - From: Chris Lott [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Php-General (E-mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2001 11:23 PM Subject: [PHP] Next Book Finished with Beginning PHP from Wrox.

I would recommend the PHP Developer's Dictionary - it is high-quality, practical and covers a lot of ground - from basic PHP to advanced PHP to building your own PHP extension.

Re: [PHP] Next Book
Good books for advanced topics are: PHP4 Developer's Guide (Schwendiman) PHP Developer's Cookbook (Hughes) Web Application Development for PHP 4.0 (Ratschiller, Gerken) And for MySQL, Surprisingly, O'Reilly's version is weak, but Dubois' MySQL for New Riders is very comprehensive.

RE: [PHP] Next Book
PHP Developer's Cookbook, most definetly. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672319241/telvinsarchive In all honesty, if I had just one book to choose, this would be it, and along with the PHP Manual online, is a wonderful reference.

[SNIP] Web Application Development for PHP 4.0 (Ratschiller, Gerken) I can recommend this book for people who are already somewhat familiar with PHP and who have a fair amount of programmin experience... Most of it is not really so much about as it is about good programming style (with transcends languages)... It's a good inspiration source and has helped me change the (not so optimal) way I did many tings... :-) Definetely not a beginner's book though... Also it has a chapter on hacking the PHP core contatining information you probably won't find anywhere else... -- Lasse -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
