The PEAR Installer Manifesto.
Chances are, you’ve seen the acronym PEAR at some point in your use of PHP, whether it was in passing or when installing and using a package from pear.php.net. If you’ve investigated, you’ve probably heard of popular software provided by PEAR, such as the DB database abstraction package, or the HTML_QuickForm package. What you may not realize is that PEAR is much more than just a collection of packages that you can use. PEAR also contains the most versatile installation program for PHP, the PEAR installer.
With the PEAR installer, you can do much more than just install packages from pear.php.net. You can install packages from other PEAR channels, distribute your own software projects using your own PEAR channel, and even maintain a complex web project, all using the PEAR installer. Surprised? Well read on, as this book reveals the intimate secrets of the PEAR installer and how it will revolutionize your everyday development with the PHP programming language!

Sams: Advanced PHP Programming.
Over the past three years PHP has evolved from being a niche language used to add dynamic functionality to small sites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into large-scale, business-critical Web systems.
The rapid maturation of PHP has created a skeptical population of users from more traditional “enterprise” languages who question the readiness and ability of PHP to scale, as well as a large population of PHP developers without formal computer science backgrounds who have learned through the hands-on experimentation while developing small and midsize applications in PHP.
While there are many books on learning PHP and developing small applications with it, there is a serious lack of information on “scaling” PHP for large-scale, business-critical systems. Schlossnagle’s Advanced PHP Programming fills that void, demonstrating that PHP is ready for enterprise Web applications by showing the reader how to develop PHP-based applications for maximum performance, stability, and extensibility.
