PHP Recommondations.

Looking at starting to learn PHP 5 and MySQL to help advance my web work. Was looking at afew books to get me started, but there seems to be so many that claim to be for beginners, i'm starting to get a bit overwhelmed.

Was looking at "Beginning PHP 5 & MySQL: From Novice to Professional", but a few reviews claim it's not to good for a complete novice (which is what i am, of course).

Anyone used this book? Is it any good for a novice? Or does anyone else have any other suggestion for decent books for beginners?

Appreciate any help. Cheers.

I remember getting a Dummies book for JavaScript last year. Was a complete waste of time. They don't attempt to teach you anything. They simply show the code and leave it at that.

Cheers for the advice everyone. Very much appreciated.
