Learning PHP and books: need recommendations

[greengurl]

Hi,

I'm looking for a book or 2 to take me to the next level. Ullman's beg. PHP bk was good b/c it provides the user with scripts. But I need something more advanced, with smarter and condensed scripts ... advanced stuff, real-world application...and a good reference format, maybe even integrates with CSS, XML, PEAR, etc.

I'll take any suggestions!
