Same here.
Well, actually I *did* buy a book - "Core PHP programming". I started
reading it, saw that it basically only covers (a) introductory
programming in general (what is a 'while' loop?) and (b) a PHP3 function
reference (copied from the online manual), and I immediately went back to
the web resources.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't buy any book - the cookbook for example
certainly is very useful both as starter (giving examples) and later on
(giving more complex examples :).
But (1) never forget to have the online manual at hand and (2) check
phpbuilder.com etc for new interesting articles from time to time
