I've gone and stumbled across a lot of recommendations for PHP books, including on SO, however could not find a reasonable & convincible answer for this.
Is there a really good advanced book for PHP.
Background:
I've done almost 8 months in PHP.
I know the basics. I go through
php.net very often. I've played around with Codeigniter, amongst
other frameworks.
I've been doing JavaScript for almost 2 years, and
specifically thank Douglas Crockford for this, I completely changed
the way I code JavaScript.
I spend a lot of time travelling, and would love to read a book about PHP, that includes the awesome parts and even when something doesn't quite work in PHP.
(As a note a lot of previous answers on SO and programmers give varied results.)
I have to place an order through a library which has it's limitations. One book that some of experienced PHP programmers could recommend would be helpful.
I have gone through http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1711/what-is-the-single-most-influential-book-every-programmer-should-read and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/194812/list-of-freely-available-programming-books, which do NOT have books related to PHP.
