Re: book in php
If you want to use php and mysql together, PHP & Mysql for dummies is good. http://www.amazon.com/MySQL-Dummies-CDR ... 0764516507
It includes getting setup and learning the basics of php and then leads you into making forms and onward to mysql databases.
There is a ton of stuff on the web about learning PHP too and that is free.

Re: book in php
The internet is abound with good* resources for learning PHP from the ground up, probably too many, in fact; it's like as soon as anyone learns something, they immediately feel the need to 'blog' about it, even though the php.net website has said pretty much everything that needs saying - but that's neither here nor there. My point is, I wouldn't buy a book solely to learn PHP - buy a pocket reference book, and learn from free online sources. The reference book's come in handy when you've forgotten something but do not have internet access. You should also have a local copy of the PHP manual (you can find that on php.net).

PHP 5 Power Programming and PHP's architect certification guide are good books.
