Object Oriented PHP - Book Recommendation?

Beginners - Learning PHP
#1

Hi,

I have some experience with procedural PHP programming and am looking for recommendations for a good book on object oriented PHP.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

#2

Two books I recommend are :

  1. PHP Adavanced and Object-Oriented Programming by Larry Ullman (Latest Edition)
  2. PHP Objects, Patterns and Practice by Matt Zandstra (Fourth Edition)

I would read Ullman’s book first then Zandstra’s book last, for the first book builds up to OOP which will make more sense to a person learning OOP and you’ll also learn advanced features of PHP.

Thank you for your recommendations and advice!

PHP Masters

Others deal with OOP, but are not directly linked are PHP books that deal with frameworks, something like
Web Application Development with Yii 2 and PHP
or Learn ZF2: Learning By Example

They use OOP and you should be able to correlate the practices.
