I am looking for a book or website that will give me a quick revision of all the PHP coding. Since I have a few projects coming up, I need to revise these important codes.

Any ideas?

Yer I remember that place. Didn't use it for PHP but used for others. Has it got the advanced features?

You wanted Advanced (because your title says that) or beginner (because you stated you want an overview)? I don't know of any good beginner books but here are my favorite advanced books:

Amazon.com: Pro PHP: Patterns, Frameworks, Testing and More (Pro): Kevin McArthur: Books

Amazon.com: PHP 5 Power Programming (Bruce Perens' Open Source Series): Andi Gutmans, Stig Bakken, Derick Rethans: Books

I don't recommend this book: Amazon.com: PHP|Architect's Guide to PHP Design Patterns: Jason E. Sweat: Books

I'm reading that book now and wanted to learn about design patterns only. The author is constantly talking about Abstract Classes (what they are, and how to use them), Testing before coding, and other beginner things that one should already know before reading a design pattern book. He really frustrates me. He also wrote the book for PHP4 and PHP5. As a PHP5 programmer I don't care about PHP4 code any longer.

I would just like an overview of the advanced PHP functions because I have a few projects to do that require them. I need to revise them.

I will read the first or second one. Thanks a lot for this mate. I will start ASAP

I will always recommend W3Schools to people, as it has a complete reference. Alternatively, http://msconline.mac...ls/default.aspx may be useful.

I recommend php.net. That is my main source of PHP knowledge.

php.net is a very good reference, but for actually learning it, I would choose W3Schools over it. It's more like a tutorial; php.net is more like a dictionary.

I figured you would by the type of nerd to read a dictionary.
