Evening all! (at least it is evening here in Texas) We all have our favorite PHP books and resources but there is one tome that seems to be missing from the group...a "best practices" book. We all have our preferences for what we call best practices and it seems at this stage in the life of PHP that there would be a guide to the best of the best. I am not talking about the holy wars here (like bracket placement) I am talking about things like testing variable in conditional situations or the proper use of constructors or ways to leverage the power of PHP with databases. If there was a best practices book would you buy it? (I am showing complete disregard for the thread on copyright infringement v. theft.) Or do you rely on other sources like this list, articles, etc to derive your own set of practices? Thanks for indulging me. Thanks Jay

Jay: That might be a good subject, but I find that "best practices" is a moving target. By the time you finish the book, some of your "best practices" will be "old practices". Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
