Subject: PHP Book
Hi,

as there are quite a few PHP cracks here:

could anyone recommend a good book on PHP? I already know the basics and wrote some scripts, but i guuess all of that is either bad style or insecure or both.
Any suggestions? The book should be in german or english language.

I work in a training centre (I'm just office staff), there's a list of php books on the website with synopsis. Maybe it will help narrow things down a little.

These are in our library there, if you were in the UK they'd welcome you to drop in and browse. I personally use amazon reviews a lot when choosing books.

I have read  PHP & MySQL for Dummies from Janet Valade. Generally, this book is good but you need to spend more time than me with this book if you want be good programmer :) I was learning a few days and I am able to edit most of the scripts from hotscripts and similar php script galleries and also create some basic scripts like contact form or very easy cms.

There are so many good books...

In addition to books, and possibly, instead of books (which tend to be: expensive, and out-of-date by the time they are published), it might be good to read these:-
DokuWiki - Security Guidelines for Plugin Authors
The Official PHP Security Manual Note that this site has a very good online, up-to-date, free, guide to developing and learning PHP.
The Open Web Application Security Project - PHP Security Cheat Sheet
PHP Security Consortium - PHP Security Guide
This guide to Writing Secure PHP
