[thelist] Good PHP/MySQL book?

[Joel Morris]

I'd also say the New Riders' "MySQL" by DuBois and Wrox's
"Professional PHP Programming". That last one is a bit out of date now
(I think it mainly covered PHP3), but I thought it slightly better
than "Beginning PHP4".

A handy reference book to have is Sams' "PHP Developer's Dictionary".

Best, Joel Morris

What's the best PHP/MySQL book you've read? I'm coming from a
Microsoft
centric background - ASP, MSSQL2000, all on Windows servers running
IIS5.
I'd like to work toward a Unix/Apache platform, but to begin with I'd
like
to get comfortable with PHP and MySQL.

I've read the docs, and even developed a playground at
http://members.evolt.org/spinhead/php/ so I'm not a complete newbie,
but
close.
