Further Reading
There are a great number of excellent books on OO programming techniques and design patterns. These are by far my two favorite design pattern books:
Design Patterns (by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides). This is called the "Gang of Four" book, after its four authors. This is the ultimate classic on patterns. Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (by Martin Fowler). Fowler is an incredibly experienced fellow, and this book is an insightful and extremely practical approach to design patterns, particularly on the Web.
Neither of these books focuses on PHP, but if you're willing to wade through C++, C#, and Python, they are well worth the effort.
