    If your not using a free online resource and actually buying a book I would suggest a lynda.com subscription. They have some very good stuff on php and I found the video guides that walk you through different aspects of php extremely helpful.

    I learned from this book: John Wiley & Sons - Beginning PHP, Apache, MySQL Web Development

    That book is available in Amazon

    From my own experience, you will not learn anything by just reading a book. Here are my suggestions:

    1. Take a quick glance on the basics and try to memorize a bit
    2. Start by testing small codes you write from your mind (DON'T COPY AND PASTE!), using either a local server or by hosting it online
    3. Once you have grasped the language basics, move on reading more advanced stuff
    4. Find an easy open source project you can work on, google "open source php"
    5. Think about a feature and customize it
    6. Read more about PHP
    7. Study about MySQL databases
    8. Google when stuck, forum posting should be your last resort, everyone hates answering the same question again and again
    9. Don't aim big, you will get frustrated

    Believe me, that's the best practice.

    I suggest you to use Notepad++ as an editor, it's free. (this is different from the built-in notepad)

    Also, I myself learned everything here: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/


    Good luck.

    Hy,
    At this page: PHP MySQL resources you'll find a few courses (e-books) and tutorials to download.
    Maybe you find something good for you.
