Everybody here seems to rave about O'Reilley books. Grab one of those.

The first php book I bought was a sams... it was ok. The MYSQL chapter blew horribly.

Hello, and welcome to the community. Wrox Press has put out some very good tech books. You may want to look at some of theirs.
Sitepoint has also put
very, very good books. Specifically Kevin Yank's "
Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL". That is one of my favorites for beginners.

Although I'm sure that Sitepoint's book is great, I don't suggest it simply because it's pretty old and was published long time ago - probably not up to date.

The only problem with your code that I see is the use of short tags.
Examples of short tags:
And also ASP tags:
Don't use any of the above... never.
Use only this:
