PHP essentials from Prima Tech and
PHP3 Programming Browser-Based Applications from McGraw Hill.

Even though the last title is a PHP3 book it has a very good look at the
essentials and is a pretty well thought out book with useful examples.

As to making the switch I use them both and I think that its far more useful
to have both languages available as it then gives you a wider range of
skills to bring to a task.

Best tool for the job type comments apply.
