NYCPHP Meetup

[Hans C. Kaspersetz]

I can second Mitch's opinion on PHP 5 Power Programming.  It is a good 
introduction to PHP 5 and OOP.  It is not an OOP book.  It is a book 
about programming with PHP 5 including information on subjects from 
working with files to using PEAR and PECL packages.  The book includes 
information about classes and syntax in PHP5 and brief discussion about 
different OOP design patterns.  I found myself wanting more information 
about OOP and PHP5 after reading it.  But I always want more 
information.  It is one of the books I have read almost cover to cover.
