[pmwiki-users] PHP - slightly off topic but not really

[Jan Erik Moström]

OK, I've decided that I need to learn PHP, among other things I 
want to be able to hack pmwiki/drupal/wordpress etc, and I would 
like to have some recommendations of suitable book(s).

I've got a couple of "requirements"

+   Not a "PHP for programming newbies" book, I've been 
programming for more
     than 20 years and have experience from Java, C, C++, Perl, 
Python, etc, etc
     and work as teacher in programming so I'll skip the "this 
is how an
     if-statement works" books.

+   I would like it to contain "PHP best practices" hints/tips

+   I would like to see "typical pitfalls"

+   Preferable "PHP design hints"

And yes, I prefer to read on paper (I've found that it takes me 
much shorter time to learn from a good book than using on-line documentation).

So does anyone have any suggestions for what to read?
