Thanks. I should get into PEAR and learn about PHP best coding practices.

I don't find PEAR of much use. Unless you want to use it to install your software.

- use proper code indenting to make your code readable
- document your code with phpDocumentor or other
- use meaningful variable and function names
- use an editor with syntax highlighting to help find any unbalanced quotes
  and parentheses before running the script
- if something does not work like expected: use a debugger to inspect your
  variables at every execution step, IMO a must for serious programming
- get used to a version control system early, you will populate your file system
  with test1.php, test2-old.php, test2-1.php and so on not knowing what you will need
  later and what to delete

This was the easy advice, now the difficult:

- break down a problem into smaller 'working units' using functions and objects
- design your functions (and methods) to work on data passed in by parameters, the
  benefits will be better isolated testing, and reuse of code
- test your code after every logic step
- work on your understanding of the whole system: client browser, IP (address, ...),
  TCP (port, SSL, ...), DNS, HTTP (headers, ...), HTML, CSS, JavaScript, web server
  settings, PHP settings, logging, ...

There is a reason why good programmers can ask for high hourly rates.

I think PHP Object Oriented Solutions, David Powers 
(http://www.amazon.com/PHP-Object-Oriented-Solutions-David-Powers/dp/1430210117/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1333212576&sr=1-1) 
should be read before the above mentioned book.

They are great books once you have the basics of the language down, and 
go great one after the other.
