PHP Book

[wfernley]

Hi. I was curious what a lot of people consider a good book to be on PHP. Basically what I am looking for is a book that will tell me the best and worst practices to do in PHP.

I know PHP now, but I wonder if there are some scripts in my site which are slowing things down and giving errors. I find some sections of my site to be very slow and I have been thinking I need to find out what I'm doing wrong.

Does anyone know a good book which deals with best practices in PHP. Even a link to a site with a tutorial on this would work :)

thanks.

Not a PHP book guy. I stick with WebmasterWorld and Google ;-)

Try this:

Google for "PHP best practices"

Also, check out the Coding Standards [pear.php.net] section of the PEAR documentation.
