Good PHP 5 Book
So I’ve been looking around for a good PHP 5 book that covers some advanced items. Well, I found one, it’s called: PHP 5 Unleased published through SAMS. Unfortunately, I bought it down at Barnes & Noble at retail price, however, I’ve included a link here to Amazon.com for those that want to check it out:
It covers some “advanced” items such as PEAR, XML/XSLT, Optimizing, Authentication, Encryption, OOP, Error Handling, Tidy, MIME Email, SOAP, File System, Network I/O, OS Access, Graphics, PDFs, and Regular Expressions.
Anyways. I haven’t of course read it all the way through, but today glancing at it, I’m glad a pushed out the $50 for it, however, I recommend getting it from Amazon the $32.99 price (or whoever else has it cheaper)!
Oh yeah, just FYI, I also bought FreeBSD Unleashed.
I just feel I don’t know enough about how to properly setup all the Linux/UNIX stuff and thought now that I’m graduated, what better time? I’ll let you know how it is.

I like pictures.
lol, classic Jamie. “I like pictures.” Nice recommendations Trevor, thanks!
I’m partial to Advanced PHP Programming, the book that both Anthony and I have, but… then again… I can’t say that I’ve done much PHP5.
I looked at that… I may also get that too. For me, it was a lot of stuff that I already worked with… this book covered some items I haven’t had experience with (or at least correct experience with).
