There are many great websites, for instance: http://www.phpdeveloper.org http://www.phpbuilder.com http://www.devshed.com http://www.phpnoise.com/ One of the most vital elements in the life of a PHP programmer is the manual (http://www.php.net/manual), that answers all the questions you will be able to think of. The books part is a little more tricky, because of the fact that PHP 5 will arive in the near future. Most books that are currently available focus on PHP 4 and will be outdated soon. I'm considering to buy PHP Developers Handbook by John Coggeshall (http://www.coggeshall.org/), but you could always take a look at the currently available titles at Amazon.
