PHP Manual
The official php documentation PHP manual is available in many formats.
PHP Essentials
Published as a wiki, this book covers all aspects of PHP using real world examples, not just theory (I prefer books with examples):
- history of PHP
- high level overview of how PHP works and why it is so useful to web developers
- details of each area of PHP (basics of the scripting language through to object oriented programming, file and filesystem handling and MySQL and SQLite database access
- creation and handling of HTML based forms
- maintaining state using cookies and PHP sessions
Programming PHP
Covers the PHP programming language for readers with some experience in other programming languages or who know PHP basics and want to learn more.
Covers the core language, HTTP session management, database connectivity to MySQL, Oracle and PEAR, graphics file manipulation, XML parsing and PDF creation. Includes instructions for building a PHP extension library in C, a function reference, and a guide to existing extensions.
