Hi,

There are many great websites, for instance:

http://www.phpdeveloper.org
http://www.phpbuilder.com
http://www.devshed.com
http://www.phpnoise.com/

One of the most vital elements in the life of a PHP programmer is the
manual (http://www.php.net/manual), that answers all the questions you
will be able to think of.

The books part is a little more tricky, because of the fact that PHP 5
will arive in the near future. Most books that are currently available
focus on PHP 4 and will be outdated soon. I'm considering to buy PHP
Developers Handbook by John Coggeshall (http://www.coggeshall.org/), but
you could always take a look at the currently available titles at
Amazon.

Good luck and happy coding,

Filip de Waard
