Re: recommending a PHP book?

"PHP 5 Power Programming" by Andi Gutmans, Stig Bakken, and Derick Rethans may be worth the read for you. It doesn't mention an MVC, but they do talk a little about patterns in PHP.

However, you probably won't find much in-depth coverage of patterns in PHP. There are alot of good books written on patterns in C++, Java, and C#, but PHP doesn't have that "enterprise" stigma about it.

I've nearly finished an MVC-based framework in PHP, and think that Java should be sincerely evaluated before you take up the endeavor. I've had to reinvent alot of Struts functionality. Not only that, but you'll probably go further with J2EE on your resume than PHP.

O'Reilly has some good books on design patterns. I picked up Head First myself, and though it was repetitive, it got the point across pretty well. You'll find that most of the code is in Java, but it should be easy to read if you speak PHP 5.

For a quick online reference of some common design patterns (and if you can read C#), you can look at this site: http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/Patterns.aspx#list

Thanks,

Jeremy

Thanks.
