I just think that if you don't know the basics (I know they can be boring as hell but you gotta start there) you'll get in trouble for no good reason. PHP is a large and extensive language and there's all sorts of minutiae that adds up when building complicated apps, especially when considering performance. My recommendations for getting up and running quickly with PHP are:

PHP 5 Visual QuickStart Guide
Object Oriented PHP
PHP 5 Advanced Visual QuickPro Guide

Those books were very helpful to me when I was getting started. The Visual Quickstart series is mostly code and short explanations to get you going as quick as possible. I'm sure you could borrow a copy from your local library(torrent site), although I recommend buying the books; you'll crack them open a hundred times a year for reference.[/quote]

See... now that is actually useful information to post.
