i'd say it's the opposite. online resources means you can cut and paste the code.. and is updated in real-time.. new functions are being explored all the time.. books are static, once they're published, they do not change.. and time from writing to market is a while, by that time a whole new version of PHP could be out.
it just depends how you learn. if you learn by sitting in a corner and reading about it, then maybe books do help you. however, if you learn by doing it (like me), online resources are faster and more accessable, not to mention free.
