object-oriented PHP

NoBullMan

Hi all,
I am trying to find a good book/web site/ ... on object-oriented PHP. I checked Amazon but don't really trust the reviews. I thought maybe some of you guys can help me out.

Thanks.

It depends on your experience, and what version of PHP?

If you are a experienced programmer and doing php5 i would suggest :
Php|architect's Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide
PHP|Archhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/architects-Zend-Certification-Study-Guide/dp/0973862149/ref=sr_1_1/026-8154731-6010059?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1176663979&sr=8-1

It's very good as a reference but doesnt go into great detail about basics... so only if you are already a programmer.

I don't know many php books for beginners, however all i have seen have been rubbish, so be careful 😉

Thanks for the reply.
I am an intermediate level PHP programmer and I am familiar with (not an expert) object oriented programming (using C++ and C#). I need a book with real life examples while explaining the object oriented programming in PHP.

Thanks.

I think that book will be quite good as a reference for you then. It's the kind of book i find ideal because i am fairly competent with various languages but sometimes i find i forget how to do a specific thing in a language or whatever. it sits by me sometimes when I'm coding.
