I had the same feeling a few months ago, so I bought Modern PHP. It's done a pretty good job of catching me up.

Modern PHP by josh lockhart (creator of the Slim framework) is a good one to get a kickstart into modern development with PHP.

It's a relatively thin book without any fluff, great read.
