You know how to code. Orielly’s cook book for php will show you how to solve common problems with php and build a better understanding of the language.
Next, stand on the shoulders of giants. Download an open-source project that does something your interested in written in php and figure out how it works.
For example:
Wordpress uses a ’simple’ code structure that shows off good code standards. (without too much OOP)
Magento would be the opposite extreme; a great example of OOP, design patterns, php5 and the Zend Framework.
