The php books I have been able to track down at local book stores tend
to go to contact and content management systems, shopping carts,
enterprise system, mailing lists and RSS stuff, the kind of commercial
and open source consumer programs that shows up on the web.
As they get into more advanced topics, they tend to move to object
oriented programming, patterns and the coordination of work teams.
I work in the non-profit and community sectors and a lot of what I am
programming for is managing resources, including people, articles,
links, files, funders, photos and other things which involve a lot of
related tables, complex searches, access management, and the ability
for people to upload information without corrupting what is there.
It also includes web page management like using php to do task specific
CSS selction, page formats for printing and other kind of output.
As I am doing most of this myself, I have found it easier to work with
procedural code, switch operators and called functions and php
procedural files rather than objects.
I'm wondering if anyone knows a source for books or even links focusing
more on advanced procedural coding in the areas I have mentioned.
Safari, O'Reilly and Apress have some great books, but they tend to go
in the enterprise/object direction when they get down to brass tacks.
Any ideas?
