I have to plug the Advanced-PHP-Programming too, its great, however as the title denotes for a intermediate PHP'er it goes into some unnecessary things, like advanced version control, reverse proxies and writing PHP extensions etc which isn't wholly related to scripting PHP, although that said it is a great reference book and gives you a detailed insight of how things work under the hood (opcodes etc) which for an intermediate PHP'er mybe confusing.
