php bible

.NET developers (and probably not only them) know that there is such a book as "CLR via C #" by Jeffrey Richter - a kind of "bible" for a .NET programmer.
Attention, a question for connoisseurs: name the "bible" for a PHP programmer?
I ask you not to kick much, I know that there is Google and so on.

1) "ZEND PHP 5 Certification STUDY GUIDE" (for beginners)
2) Leon Atkinson, Zeev Suraski "PHP5 professional library".
3) Matt Zandstra "PHP Objects, Patterns and Programming Techniques"

“PHP5” Dmitry Koterov (Denwer.ru) and Alexey Kostarev helped me a lot in my time.
Dmitry writes very well in general, respect to him!

Not as a bible, but just as a good book on PHP, I can recommend this one:
www.kocby.ru/post/webmaster/php-mysql/welling/
And the bible for any programmer, in my opinion, is lib.mexmat.ru/books /77

In general, usually php.net helps out. There are full descriptions, and "similar" functions, and a breakdown into categories.
It is hardly possible to find something more complete in the book.
Or do you need an offline source?

It's one thing to have a function reference with a full description of the arguments and examples (it's clear that each language has its own reference), and it's another thing to assemble it all into a large workable system with a well-developed architecture. These principles may already be the same for many languages.
A good program in PHP or any other language seems to me to include the right use of functions in the right architecture.
For functions - php.net to help. I won’t name a specific source according to the architecture and patterns, but I will single out the author separately - M. Fowler.
Patience and a little effort.

Off topic, but general advice: buy books from reputable foreign publishers: O'Relly, Wrox, SAMS.
I personally have some prejudice against domestic books.

In PHP, you need to read two books - the first, about syntax, such as Koterovskaya and Schlossneigl oz.by/people/more909064.html , which will allow you to move to a new level and stop reading books on php, and take up architecture.
