i'll second that the online manual is amazing (php.net)-- they've done
nifty mod_rewrite stuff so you can get to a function's page with a
simple url, i.e. php.net/switch will give you the page on 'switch'
also, i love Lerdorf and Tatroe's "Programming PHP"
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progphp/) it's mostly what you can get
online, but there is some interesting explanation of why things were
designed as they were. good for simply reading through; very much your
usual o'reilly no-bullshit reference book.

i'm not sure what sql server's looks like, but since you mentioned OS
X, here's a great cocoa-java mysql gui: YourSQL
(http://www.mludi.net/YourSQL/)
...or the previously-mentioned phpMyAdmin
