Scott,
I read that book too, there was so many things about that book that I didn't like. The naming convention and folder structure of the directories was my main turn off. And all of the script errors. They have an errata on their website for it, but like I said I didn't like the book. If I want to get into PEAR more I might look at it again though, since that was its main focus.

Another one I didn't like was Secure PHP Development by Mohammad Kabir. Again PEAR based. I tried reading it 4 or 5 times, always stopped at chapter 4.

I'm finding it hard to find PHP books that are strictly OOP (without PEAR). All of the books I have looked at, eventually push the whole structure to PEAR. I'm not dissin` PEAR, but I not ready to use it in my programming.

I know Carl, seems to like the aPress books, I might have to look at them more too.
