Until sofar I have only used Kevin Yank's book Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP And MySQL and I have to say: I love it. I can really recommend you this book .
Yep, Kev's book is good for the beginner. The other I have used is Professional PHP Programming by Wrox -- it is a big book and covers lots and has good reference sections.
Well, I do want to learn MySQL, but i dont want to dive into it all at once. Although i have read quite a few articles he has written and they have been in english at least I can say .
Well are there any others, as I'm definately considering kev's book as well as another dedicated to php.
Yeah I don't want to look like I am being paid by Kev to say this, but I got his book and it rocks! It's very descriptive, easy to understand and follow. By the last page, anybody who perseveres should understand the basics of php and mysql.

Thats what I was thinking as kev is a celebrity here lol. But, does it cover everything from php to sql, as i thought sql is a very broad subject from what i've seen so far.
With those three they will easily show you everything you need to know about php. I did but a book. The one mentioned above. Php and Mysql by Sams. I find the examples to be bloated. I found the first 5 chapters (?) to be decent and really good at explaining the basics but I have been disapointed overall by the book
My favorite PHP development documentation is the CHM file available for download at php.net. I also own Professional PHP 4 and a copy of Kevin's Book but I haven't really read either of them all the way through.
.
this is not a paid advertisement
lol
, but is there any other books that focus on php? as i will get both
