Hi, I not aware about the books for PHP in the market. But always my suggestion is refer http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com . There you can get information about PHP especially for beginners.
Hello, Yes, around internet you can find a lot of tutorials, but sometime a book as guide is great, there are many books, you can look around Amazon a book like how to learn PHP in 21 days, or something like that. If you can learn PHP, think in something easy to do, like a form where you can save in MYSQL a name, lastname, phone number, and then you can delete the files, try to start with sometihg really easy, when you do it, then try to make something more Learn take time, do not worry about Best, Jakomo
