I would recommend something that is updated for PHP5.

Other then that, most experience comes from writing scripts and learning functions and structures that can be looked up on PHP's website

and if you have any questions, PM me, been doin' php for 6 years

As silly as it sounds, PHP5 book for dummies is perfectly fine to pick up on the basics again. Then just pick bits from php.net, also read up on security articles regarding php5 on how to code safe script.

Never fails.

what I ment was use php.net as a reference, after learning the syntax from a book.
