Hi,
Just wondering could someone suggest a good book to start learning using php for web development? I have experience as a developer previously, currently finishing the SCJD project, so I'm hoping to understand php pretty quickly, also know HTML, CSS and Javascript pretty well. (Just stating to show I have some experience with programming languages and not learning from stratch :D ).Any help much appreciated!
Thanks.

Those are two of my personal favorites, the second one (PHP and MySQL Development) is the book I personally learned my first steps with.

I picked up Larry Ullman's PHP For The World Wide Web the other day from Books A Million, and so far, it's been a very good book. :)
