Recommended Reading

I know this question probably gets asked all the time and I have looked at the stickied thread but I’m looking for a book that’s based on PHP rather than Java as all the recommended books seem to be. I know design patterns are pretty transferable but I’d rather pick it up in a language I’m comfortable with.

I’m also looking at Zend as my framework of choice (mainly because the forum software I’m considering using also uses Zend so I may as well use the same framework so I can be better equipped to develop mods for it) so a book aimed at that is also an option.

I’ve found the following books and I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences with them and would recommend them or not.
