Books on PHP/MySQL:

PHP Developer's Cookbook - after I had coded my first bit in php this was great for me

MySQL/PHP Database Applications - nice, warm and easy introduction to PHP/MySQL with a narrowed down focus on the coding bits they offer at the end of the book. Good introduction.

MySQL - Reference Manual - just got tired of browsing for mysql-stuff

PHP Manual - has always been by my side

Self-PHP - written in German, it lacks stuff on regular expressions and some other bits, but it's basically the PHP-Manual in a more userfriendly format (nice layout, nice navigation, good coding examples). If for some reason I can't wrap my head around something in the PHP-Manual, I tend to check Self-PHP.
