Hi I am planning to study php, sql and css. I have been looking around for a good book (that is EASY) for these languages. There are so many that I have no clue which one to purchase. I can learn them from a resource website but I like good old way better :D so let me hear your suggestions (or experience).

PHP & MySQL for dummies is the best one I found to start out on.

CSS, hmm not sure of any titles there

Thanks I'll add that to my list but still need some more titles.

I've found the following books to be very helpful. However, they may be a bit too technical for someone new to programming. All are O'Reilly books.

Programming PHP
Web Database Applications, with PHP and MySQL
PHP Cookbook
Dynamic HTML, the definitive reference. (covers HTML, CSS, DOM)
Managing and Using MySQL
MySQL Cookbook
SQL Tuning (more advanced SQL discussion)

For CSS and web standards:

Bit of bedtime reading there! ;)

Here is a great php book i'm reading:

Teach yourself php in 24 hours published by SAMS. (they also cover mysql)
I've been reading it for about 3 weeks now, and it is very easy to understand.
Its over 300 pages.
One of the most important things to look at in a book like this is to make sure they give you lots of examples of what it looks like in a text editor, and then what it looks like on the web.

Highly recomended :)

Best book I've found yet on CSS is:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0130092789/qid=1084140687/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/102-8365475-3976138?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

In my opinion, its a must have.

Im using the PHP in Twenty Four hours now. I like it.

The O'Reilly books are really complicated.
