Learning PHP from C++

[MasterGberry]

So i am a very fluent C++ programmer, and am switching over to PHP/Javascript/MYSQL for some new work that I am doing. I know all the basics of C++ and some of the more advanced STL libraries. I know very basic PHP simply cuz I already know all the arrays, variables, loops, functions, classes, etc.

What I need is a good book that will help me to learn PHP thats no exactly for beginners....but for someone who knows how to at least do basic programming? If that's possible? Any suggestions? I also need to be good @ PHP security with injections and stuff...even if its a 1000 page read idc, lay it on me. Thanks.

http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp This is best for PHP beginners

I prefer http://devzone.zend.com/article/627. Both aren't perfect, but Zend tries a bit harder to teach you some best practices, and as you mention database injections, w3schools doesn't talk about that but Zend does.
