Hmm, although Sterlings book is cool, german readers can save the money
an check the german FAQ on http://www.koehntopp.de/php. It covers most
of Sterlings book except the PHP core hacking. The advanced book I like
best is "Web application development with PHP 4.0" written by
Till&Tobel. Don't expect a PHP only book, the authors did very well not
to copy the online reference or the usual tutorials. Till&Tobel wrote a
book for those that have a solid basic programming knowledge but lack
some more advanced skills like API design or certain web development
strategies (CVS, staging server, development process, ...).
