Can anyone recommend some good books on this subject? I want to learn it from scratch, but have no clue where to begin.

Thanks,

i skimmed through the Beginning PHP4 book - looked pretty good, but had already bought Professional PHP Programming before.

Wrox is known to have good reading/learning material

g'luck ;)

I bought 'Build your own database driven website' by Kevin Yank. Really a great book.
Check it out @ www.sitepoint.com/books

I got SAMS "PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson".

Fantastic book with loads of sample code in the book and on the CD - very useful resouce. It is rated as intermediate to advanced but if you have some programming experience (even in Basic) then it is at the right level.

ISBN: 0-672-31784-2

Thank you all!

I'm going to the bookstore tomorrow to see if I can find any of these.

Would be nice to find one that gives some clues as to how I can use PHP/MySQL together with Flash.

Anyway, thanks

I read books online at http://safari.oreilly.com which is subscription based, and have found it a worthwhile resource.
