Recommend a book

[Rabea]

Hello...

Can any one recommend a good book about php4 for an intermediate level.. I already checked amazon but can't decide on one.

I'm interested in sessions.. database manipulation and user authentication.

If you don't feel like posting book name in the forum, pls, send directly to my E-mail "[e-mail]"

Thnax in advance.

Programming PHP by Rasmus Lerdorf and Kevin Tatroe

after the first 50 pages or so it really starts to pickup with good explanations and neat examples that really make you think.

I've been considering this book too. O'Reilly has some good books, and the "Programming Perl" book they put out was so stuffed with information you could spend a year reading it...

I also found it at Amazon used books for a little over $20, which is pretty cheap.
