I don't think this aspect of php could justify a whole book to itself, at least not yet. A decent php book that has good coverage of php and oop is Web Application Development with PHP 4.0, New Riders (this is an advanced text though) A really good general php book is Programming PHP by Rasmus Lerdorf (from the horses mouth!) & Kevin Tatroe, O'Reilly (in this 'Objects' get its own chapter, which is just about as much as one can realistically expect) An interesting article is: http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/10007/1954 Good luck.

I know this is a bit off topic, can anyone recommend a good php / oop book? I've been through php.net's library and nothing really on there.
