I would also recommend a basic guide to OO programming, as much of Zend takes advantage of PHP5's OO features, and unless you spend the time to formally learn OO it can be somewhat confusing. There are a number of fantastic tutorials out there on the Googles, but I personally read the first 2 chapters of "Packt Publishing - Object-Oriented Programming with PHP5", which all made so much sense that I didn't need the rest of the book :P
There's a lot more to OO than what you'll learn through an understanding the mechanics of it, it takes a number of years to really get to *think* in objects. Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java" is apparently a fantastic book for helping you down the road of truly understanding OO, but I've not read past the first few pages yet.
