php book for beginner
I am a graphic designer and would like to step up my web knowledge. Can anyone recommend a good beginner book for php? Any other suggestions on what would be good for me to learn (even just to be able to troubleshoot or understand its features?)? Thanks!

I bought the first edition of this book a few years ago when I first started out. It's very well written and the author and others help you out in a forum if you get stuck. This is for php and mysql - they go hand in hand, if you just want to learn php, they also have a book about that too. Good luck

Re: php book for beginner
I hadn't coded PHP before and I've learnt loads. It takes you through step by step each element of the code and towards the end gets a bit more complex (but by then you should have a good knowledge) and gives you example uses.
It shows you how to develop a basic CMS, a basic E-commerce site and a full user registration module.
