Besides Larry's book - which is excellent - try David Sklar's book called
"Learning PHP 5" (O'Reilly).
Not too much on mySQL with PHP except for chapter 7 _however_ the whole book
is grounded in the understanding of PHP syntax and constructs - if/else,
loops, arrays, functions - then moves on to databases, cookies/sessions,
forms and files.
Clear, concise and with humor and if you like Chinese food great entrees for
the array examples.
Both books are very good.
