Rasmus/others, O'Reilly are advertising the imminent release (Mar 2002) of "Programming PHP" (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progphp/desc.html). Is that still going ahead? (I'll submit an advanced purchase order...)

Hmmm... on the one hand, it's an O'Reilly book, and their books tend to shine pretty brightly (though I'm extremely fond of two of my New Riders books, "MySQL" by Paul DuBois and "Python Web Programming" by Steve Holden, very well-written and well-made books). But on the other hand, the writeup at O'Reilly that you link to doesn't really entice me -- it seems to offer the same topics as most other non-introductory PHP titles out there. I'd probably pick it up regardless, if only to demonstrate to O'Reilly that there's a demand for more books on PHP. To date, their PHP selection is pathetic.
