Resources (books) for learning OOP in PHP?

Does anyone know of any great resources on learning Object Oriented PHP (including interacting with databases, etc)..

Thanks!

Check out tutsplus

1. This is the best book I have found: PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice, Third Edition, 2010 by Matt Zandstra

2. Then find videos on youtube for related topics.

3. Ask questions on a good forum like Stack Over Flow.

4. Read articles and tutorials like mentioned above.

6. Download a few PHP frameworks and study the classes. Monsters like the Zend Framework will give you years worth to munch on.

7. Use a framework to learn MVC (useful if you want to work with or for companies who require MVC Pattern)

8. Finally, the PHP OOP manual is an invaluable resource (sometimes). http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.php

Very good advices and plan to get started with OOP . The tuts examples are pretty good for beginning and start getting the idea of OOP .

Then after that you have complex (not so complex actually once we try and get how they work) but powerful OOP design patterns (Singleton, observer pattern…). Here is a link to get an idea.

For advanced programmer.
