Best Html Book... Then php & mysql

I am learning c, and i also want to learn html with php & mysql.
Even though I do have programming experience, i would rather a book that will infer that i have no programming experience, easy to follow/learn, and will teach me the basics of html. I would like the book to be 300+ pages, if possible, and from there I could move on to php.
Does anybody have a book meeting these requirements?
Also, are there any good php books that are also easy to follow/read and that i have enough experience from the other html book recommended?
My reading is hard to understand, but hopefully you know what i'm saying.

I have one piece of advise, don't do anything that you would hate to get hacked, because it is so easy to do things like that. I'm not saying I'm a 1773 hak0r, but I do have some experience.

Why don't you try answering the person's question this time?
I use a book called HTML, XHTML & CSS for dummies (ISBN 978-0-470-23847-9)
It teaches you the basics of the markup language, style sheets and some design tips, it also covers some basic javascript, which should be pretty easy to read if you understand C (as far as I've looked, the operators in javascript are actually pretty similar to those in C and C++)
I can't help you with PHP unfortunately, I've never learnt the language, but i'm sure someone else on the forum could help with that

I never learned HTML/CSS from a book. W3Schools is the best web resource as far as I know. I got a book on PHP called Sams PHP, MySQL and Apache and that's good.
