hey guys , i have read books . (2 books actually) and teaches php basics and etc.(about the language) . i want to read a book that focuses on web apps for me to learn how to collaborate php with html/mysql.(i know the basics) like samples - then explanations of the codes. things like that. any good book titles?

books that dont teach me about the language . but the use of the language itself. because i got the basics fast because i have good background in c++,java

PHP Manual (lots of examples in it. check out the comments too.)

what would you gain from not knowing, what you do? how do you expect to debug your code?

I doubt C++/Java teach you anything about how PHP handles OOP*. just consider the data types: strong typing (C++) vs. weak typing (PHP)


* – not OOP in the general sense, but it’s specific implementation.

See my blog entry on Finding a Programming Book. Also, check out the PHP Tutorials Sections, and try answering questions on the PHP forum. Helping others and interacting with the PHP experts is the best way to learn good programming practices and uses in regards to the language.

@Dormilich: I disagree. Certainly there are differences between PHP and Java, but coming from a strong Java background, it makes PHP OOP very easy to pick up.
