What's the best beginner php book?
I have no php or html experience at all.
Although, i am buying "Html and xhtml step by step".
So, are there any good beginner php books that assume of that much knowladge?
I would also like it if it was a php & mysql book.

Beginning PHP 6, Apache, MySQL 6 Web Development

http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-PHP-Apa ... 452&sr=8-1

This is book in the series that I used to learn some PHP, but I had some web development experience beforehand as well as general programming experience. I found that it tied in the 3 related technologies nicely.

I should note that I used the book before this, back in 2005 which was using PHP5.

You can learn a lot from http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP and http://www.w3schools.com/Xhtml/ as well as http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/, I've found w3schools to be a very reliable resource/reference when it comes to web development. Hope it helps ;)
