Re: PHP 5 book recommendation?

One of the things I liked most about Schlossnagle's book is that
he takes a pretty common sense approach to OO in PHP.  His code
(speaking of authentication, he features really excellent OO auth script 
in this
work)  is impeccable and he promotes good practice stuff like unit 
testing.  As
someone who was not trained as a programmer, I really enjoyed the fact 
that much
of what he says speaks to larger issues of coding practice, rather than 
simply reporting
code recipes (although, these have their place too).  Anyway, yeah,
pick Advanced Programming...
