Title: Learn by example with this short book (great for reference too)
Product review: It's a very short book, and it teaches you by example. If you have previous programming experience with something that uses a similar syntax (C++, for example), you can learn the basics of PHP/MySQL in a casual week with this book, after which you can use it for a very useful reference. It doesn't delve into classes much, nor into security, but it serves as a great quick-start into PHP/MySQL regardless and will have you writing your first useful PHP-enhanced websites within a week or two.There is a newer version of this book now, updated for PHP 5, so you will likely want to buy that instead of this one.
