it depends on your programming level and taste of reading I really like "Advanced PHP programming" but some people he's a lousy teacher, SitePoint books are the most reader friendly books but maybe they aren't the most valuable books in the market. In the last two months the market got load of new PHP books but this time it wasn't General-PHP books but php-specific-topic books, namely design patterns, security, php5 objects etc.. so the best now is to look for php book talking about specific php related topic for me the best are Topic book General Advanced PHP Programming Security: Ilia's security book "Guide to php security" OOP patterns: PHP design patterns PHP5/general php :php5 power programming Tools/extensions/internals: essential php tools Finally the best is to read some chapters of the book to see if you like how it's written and to check reviewers comments on Amazon.
