Steve writes "IBM developerWorks has put together a PHP recommended reading list. It provides resources for developers and admins adopting PHP and tackling advanced topics such as building extensions and writing secure code. There's also a list of books and blogs for keeping up with changes to the language itself."

    This is the 3rd PHP posting in the last 3 days. PHP is a pretty niche language with little theoretical power. Everything it does can be accomplished as easily by other means (JSP, Perl...). How about paying more attention to 'bread and butter' languages like C, C++, and Scheme?

    is this one.

    I'm not trying to troll, but if you do need a scripting language for more than a "Personal Home Page" then you're essentially better off using Perl, Python or Ruby.

    (Just for the record, I'm telling this while having advanced knowledge in PHP, Perl and Python and intermediate in Ruby)
