This is not a precisely on-topic answer, but:
1) Whichever book you pick, don't make it your last or only resource,
and don't become a PHP-only developer. The PHP community has a real
problem, in that so much of the existing work is authored for those
with little experience and often written by people with only moderate
experience that bad habits are rampant and even good habits are
practiced with a kind of cargo cult mentality.
2) I know PHP has some advantages that make it convenient. I have
trouble getting away from it myself. It's probably essential for a web
developer to know to some extent. But you might consider picking
another language to learn your real skills in.

I'd love to hear that it's an exception to the problems I mentioned above.
