Do you still recommend this book since it is 5 years old now?

Advanced PHP Programming by George Schlossnagle.


Do you have anymore recent books within the last 2 years that
may be just as good?

I'd hate to read something that old with the author using techniques or functions that are either deprecated or just about to be so I want to make sure that I am investing my time in something that is still going to be useful....

Thanks!
The book covers more programming concepts than language specifics IIRC (I will check it again when I get home), so it is not outdated or depreciated. There haven't been too many massive changes to PHP since version 5 came out anyways.

As for other books, that is one of the only books I have read on PHP, I get almost everything online. I haven't actually programmed anything (outside of help stuff) in PHP for months now either.
