For security (as already enthusiastically noted): 
Essential PHP Security and Pro PHP Security.

For a refreshingly straight to the actual mechanics OOP intro, try: 
The PHP Anthology: Object Oriented PHP Solutions Vol 1 & 2 (PHP 5 Ready)
2003, Harry Fuecks, Sitepoint

This book has one of the least abstract OOP explanations I've come across in
print and 
a cadre of extensible working OOP examples.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] Book recommendations - security,object-oriented
programming


Greetings,

I'm working on a project that has me thinking about purchasing one or 
two books.  The topics I'm interested in are:

1.  Security.  Discussion of practices for password storage and 
retrieval.  Transmission of data in a secure manner, e.g. encrypted, 
https, certificates, etc.  Also methods of cleaning/filtering/scrubbing 
data received from web forms.

2.  Getting up and running with object-oriented programming in PHP.

Detail:

1.  The project I am working on will allow users to create accounts.  I 
need to think about the best way to store their passwords and allow them 
to retrieve if lost, change if they so desire, etc.  As the information 
is somewhat sensitive there is a possibility I will need to be passing 
it via https vs. http.  Scrubbing and filtering the data to make sure 
nobody is intentionally or accidentally messing with my application.

2.  To date I have been working primarily with procedural programming 
techniques.  I am considering the benefits of object-oriented code for 
this project.  Ideally the book would include a discussion of benefits 
of using object-oriented code.

Thanks,

-Aaron
