does anybody know any books out there for programming in PHP, i'm new to all this and i would like to start somewhere and a book sounds perfect for me, any suggestions?

This my sound totally off the wall, but PHP and C are almost identical. You may want to pick up a C book and have a look.

I beg to differ since I never actually read any PHP books and I've been a C programmer for 14 years.
