"PHP: Good Parts" book recommendations
Before I had my first proper contact with Javascript I read an excellent book "Javascript: The Good Parts" by Douglas Crockford. I was hoping for something similar in case of PHP. My first thought was this book:

["PHP: The Good Parts"] from O'Reilly

However after I read the reviews it seems it totally misses the point. I was hoping for a book or another reference that would at least make me aware of the problems I could run into. I find that I am able to become effective with a language much quicker if I know such problems in advance. It is then more of a "aha moment" than a laborious web search for "what could possibly have gone wrong".

I already see that things can [go wrong].
