Firstly Admin - if this in the wrong place I apologise, I could not think of anywhere to put it. And I hope this post is ok and doesn't break any rules.

I'm looking to purchase a reference/tutorial book for php.

I've looked at the one by sitepoint and on amazon there are indifferent reviews about it.

Anyone brought anything that they can recommend.

I've been writing simple php script for about 3 months now and feel I have the hang of it but want to take it further.

Hi Johny Favourite,

I bought the PHP book in the Dummies seris that also covered Apache and mySQL and have found it very useful as a refence. But if you've had 3 months of practice already i don't think you'll get much out of the tutorials really, i bought another at the same time but ican't remember its name, but it was along the same lines in its coverage and content. I think any well-known book will act as a good reference and provide a sprinkle of useful tutorials but for something more advanced im not sure books are the place to look.

It's not called the Information Superhighway for nothing - actually i don't know if anyone calls it this anymore but you know what i mean :-)

If anyone does know of an advanced PHP book i'd also be interested - covering CMS/Security and stuff.

Cheers
