Blimey! I'm not a regular to these lists so I certainly didn't expect replies from two names I recognise and respect from my years of trawling the internet for valuable PHP and CSS information! The books you both recommend look like exactly what I am after, with the slight caveat that I am actually using PHP4 at work and these books seem to focus on PHP5. I appreciate the real improvements PHP5 has over PHP4 with regards to OO but I have been a little hesitant to make the leap. Perhaps now I will do so. I've also been toying with a subscription to PHP Architect since it first came out. It felt a bit to advanced for me back then but maybe now I'm ready for it. Congrats Marco - I think you've bagged a new subscriber! (I've had StyleMaster for a short while now so you've already done your work John!) Thanks John and Marco for your swift replies, I'll be sure to check out those books.
