I bought beginning PHP 5 and MySQL E-Commerce from Novice to Professional by Christian Darie and beginning php and MySQL E-Commerce from Novice to Professional 2nd edition and they have helped me a lot with OO. It's a tutorial book that builds an E-Commerce website from start to finish and teaches how to build and use SMARTY templates, how to use PEAR and Ajax. 1st edition http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-PHP-MySQL-E-Commerce- ebook/dp/B001IKJL38/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=digital-text&qid=1269518047&sr=8-2 2nd edition http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-PHP-MySQL-E-Commerce- Professional/dp/1590598644/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1269518108&sr=8-3- fkmr1 -- Blessings David M.
