Just in time for the LinuxTag 2005 O'Reilly Germany released the "PHP5 Kochbuch". This is a new edition of the translation of the original PHP cookbook by Adam Trachtenberg and David Sklar.
For the new revision which now completely focusses on PHP5 I contributed four chapters: XML, Webservices, PEAR and "PHP on the commandline".
These chapters deal with all new features of PHP5 like the new DOM, XSL and SOAP extensions, but also with some features that will only be included in PHP 5.1 like xmlReader and xmlWriter and even the brand-new XML-RPCi extension in PECL. Through all my chapters I'm also making constant use of PEAR packages like Net_Server, XML_Serializer, XML_RPC or Services_Ebay. The PEAR chapter itself even deals with PEAR 1.4.0 and explains you how to set-up a channel server. If you read the book, I'm happy to receive any feedback on my work.
