Recommend a Learning Book - PHP/MYSQL

Can anyone recommend a good book for newbie to PHP to learn about PHP and more advanced PHP and MYSQL so afterwards I have the knowledge to build myself a complete CMS. Not an ebook and one which I can buy in the UK. I need a book which goes into complicated scripts but starts off with a newbies guide

WROX do a series of books you might useful.

Also, PHP and MySQL Development - Published by Welling Thomson. Now at 3rd edition and can be got from Amazon at a good price.

There are also some books from Apress and there is Sitepoint's very own.

Read some reviews and take your choice.

Thanks went for a book in a shop. I got PHP for Dummies as someone else recommended. Was nice and short (467ish pages) which is good as I am not much of a reader.
