Blimey! I'm not a regular to these lists so I certainly didn't expect
replies from two names I recognise and respect from my years of
trawling the internet for valuable PHP and CSS information!

The books you both recommend look like exactly what I am after, with
the slight caveat that I am actually using PHP4 at work and these
books seem to focus on PHP5. I appreciate the real improvements PHP5
has over PHP4 with regards to OO but I have been a little hesitant to
make the leap. Perhaps now I will do so.

I've also been toying with a subscription to PHP Architect since it
first came out. It felt a bit to advanced for me back then but maybe
now I'm ready for it. Congrats Marco - I think you've bagged a new
subscriber!

(I've had StyleMaster for a short while now so you've already done
your work John!)

Thanks John and Marco for your swift replies, I'll be sure to check
out those books.
