Don't waste your money buying books. There's millions of free tutorials on the web to learn PHP. Here's a good one: devzone.zend.com/article/627
When learning about the Object Oriented aspects of PHP, make sure you learn about PHP5 since PHP4 is old and the 2 versions have subtle but important differences in how it treats objects.

 

Thanks i will check out the free tutorial!

I'd recommend tutorial sites such as tizag.com and W3 schools. However, if a book is more your style, then take a look at the visual quickstart pro series, or the sams teach yourself series of books

 

If you can speak/read german, openbook. galileocomputing. de/csharp/

 

Here you are: it's free.
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP

 

I would recommend online books.
This is the way to learn quickly and also has seach capability to find whatever you need based on your requirement.

 

I'm going through "PHP and MySQL Web Development by Luke Welling and Laura Thompson" at the moment. It's very good, although the chapter on OOP was not particularly well written.
