Recommended Books on Object Oriented Programming

Hi,

I want to properly learn object oriented programming as I've been coding in
procedural style since I started with PHP a few years ago, and want to give
OOP a shot. The web isn't really a good resource to learn OOP in PHP to be
honest, as a lot is outdated for PHP4's style of OOP. I've looked into OOP
quite a bit and understand the concept of it, and want to take it further.
Any recommendations appreciated :).

Thanks,
Ben.

I think the Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design book is a good
place to start.

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-QpmamSKl_EC&dq=Head+Firs t+Object+Oriented+Analaysis+and+Design&printsec=frontcover&s ource=bn&hl=en&ei=9hKqS6LUKNP__AbXl8CAAQ&sa=X&oi=book_result &ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBoQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=&f=false

For PHP, a book I really liked was:

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LWkGyWErOq0C&printsec=fro ntcover&dq=Web+applications+PHP+And+MySQL&hl=en&ei=KROqS9jWA tCM_Ab5isC1AQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CD oQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false

A very clear route to developing OO PHP applications. There is a sample
winestore application in the last section of the book.

You will still need to use the Web as these books become out of date as soon
as they're published. I recommend to focus more on the thought process
rather than the actual code in the books.

To really grasp OO in PHP, I recommend checking out a popular open source
PHP Application and go through the code. A CMS or a framework should
suffice.

Apologies, I gave the wrong link to the PHP book, it should be:

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ttlrWxAUX0gC&printsec=fro ntcover&dq=Web+Database+Applications+with+PHP+and+MySQL&hl=e n&ei=ExaqS4fAD5T__Aavgam5AQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&re snum=1&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false

I bought beginning PHP 5 and MySQL E-Commerce from Novice to Professional by
Christian Darie and beginning php and MySQL E-Commerce from Novice to
Professional 2nd edition and they have helped me a lot with OO. It's a
tutorial book that builds an E-Commerce website from start to finish and
teaches how to build and use SMARTY templates, how to use PEAR and Ajax.
