What course / book would you recommend on modern PHP programming to raise the level?

Question

PHP

Hello.
I have been programming in PHP for about 5 years. The only book read during this time was the PHP 5/6 reference book by Kuznetsov and Simdyanov.
I have been programming in a single style for all these five years, with minor changes (I implement from small scripts to, for example, an automatic service for creating blogs, forums, boards, and so on).
Recently, I have been terribly wanting to change something in style, to try to write in PHP as correctly and modernly as possible (in terms of style, security, interesting tricks).
What can you suggest to read, or listen to any course? I have a lot of programming experience in puff, but I would like to raise it, etc., I told you above in general.

Answer 1

The only book read during this time was

So, McConnell "Perfect Code", Refactoring M. Fowler. Even if you've already read it, re-read it. After the lapse of as many as 5 years, rethink a lot of things on re-reading.
Friedl "Regular expressions" is useful for general education, "High Performance MySQL" is a must if you work with mysql
www.phptherightway.com learn everything that passed you by specifically in the world of PHP.
Enough for the near future.

Answer 2

PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice
This is the fourth edition, there is no Russian translation. There is an earlier edition with a translation, but the information there is very outdated, and therefore it is harmful to read it.
