The two I have are: "Professional PHP Programming" by Castagnetto, et al, Wrox, ISBN 1-861002-96-3 "Core PHP Programming" by Atkinson, Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-089398-6 Both are good (and thick!) and while there's quite a bit of overlap, each has some unique perspectives. In addition to those, I also use some educational web sites for quick crib sheets: <http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/php/> <http://www.phpfreaks.com/> <http://www.phpworld.com/> <http://www.phpbuddy.com/> There are others, as Google will attest... -- Bob Stout <rbs@snippets.org> - The 3 rules of life: "Either lead, follow, or get out of the way."
