What are some good books for a fairly newb person? I need something that is easy to learn from and learn a lot from it.....

OH and NO PHP.net crap PLEASE!

sitepoints offer plenty of php books, check them there.

Thanks for the suggestion but I would rather be able to look at the book first... I know there are 4 chapters available for d/l but I need more than that...

I found 2 at B&N that looked pretty good...

PHP and MySQL Web Development

and

Sams Teach Yourself PHP in 24 Hours (I think)

are these any good?

I have Core PHP. It's pretty comprehensive but not difficult to read.

Both highly recommended.

PHP.net is quite good for reference and an occasional brief tutorial, but nothing more (but a good reference is hard to find for most languages).

I have PHP and MySQL Web Development. It's a good book, but be warned that it's intended for PHP 5, all the major projects they go through(shopping cart, forum, CMS..etc...etc..) are coded in PHP 5 and wont work with 4.

I have an older version of the sitepoint php/mysql book you linked and it was great. I wish I could find it.

I also picked up sams teach yourself php in 24 hours which is okay but I don't really like thier section on arrays that much which was why I got it in the first place.
