dunno if it was mentioned earlier or if its new at all but when i need help i always turn to me trusty "PHP Cookbook". I think its good and it explains things well.

The "Sams" PHP books are pretty good.

You can get "Sams: Teach yourself PHP in 24 hours". It's in 24 1 hours lessons so it's easy to digest ;-)

Then of course, my first stop is always php.net.... there's no beating that for a reference!

or if u like to be explained to really slowly you can use the book
"Php and MySQL for Dummies"
it teaches how to set up a database and other MySQL things and explains alot about php at a slow pace
