asked on

what is a philosophical oop php book at my skill level.

I have stopped future reading ( I am just reviewing oop chapters)
Because chapters at the end of book contain too many files
and one chapter is about curl (which I think is too practical not related to philosophical oop)

http://www.larryullman.com/books/php-advanced-and-object-oriented-programming/

I think this book is beneficial, but I am stuck at an oop chapter and a single code example is taking me days and I am still not understanding.
Chapter 9 Generating Objects.
There are 23 chapters.
I skipped to future code examples and same. I have run up to a wall.

Any PHP OOP book that is well-reviewed on Amazon.com will be useful. Look for the following sort of information when you're searching

1. Not too old. PHP OOP from five years ago is almost too old. Try to get something new-ish.

2. Not too rare or arcane. If there are only 12 reviews, skip the book and choose a different one that has many good reviews.

3. Well reviewed by verified purchasers. If the overwhelming majority of reviews are not 5-star, choose a different book.

That's about it, and except for a very few, that is how I have chosen all of my technical book from Amazon. Best of luck, ~Ray

Is this book, I think Ray recommended previously and now there is 4th edition.

PHP This! A Beginners Guide to Learning Object Oriented PHP

ee experts did not like this book
one reason I remember is old connection to mysql

Try this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Elements-Reusable-Object-Oriented/dp/0201633612/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_y

The Weisfeld book seems unpopular and the reviews are not very good. PHP This! has only four reviews. I might hold off on buying that until I could borrow a copy.
