What is the best PHP programming book? \[/quote\]I come from a ASP.NET background (and over a decade development experience and a CS degree) where there is plenty of good quality resources on the web (e.g. MSDN, MSDN Patterns and Practices, reference software such as Enterprise Library, Petshop, Haacked and Gu blogs) and in books (e.g. Effective C#, Professional ASP.NET MVC, C# in Depth).Having dabbled in PHP for mostly pleasure on and off for years I recently decided to bolster my PHP knowledge to a more advanced level and to be honest I am a bit put off by the lack of information on the web and books geared towards the professional experienced web developer for PHP; its hard wading through the masses of beginners and/or poor quality material out there. Even here on SO, a search reveals only a couple of non beginner books, compared to over a dozen asp.net specific ones.I'm starting to feel like this could be a waste of effort (and spend some time with another language), hoping to see some PHP book shaped rabbits pulled out of the Hat.My short-list so far has the books "PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice" and "PHP in Action".
