I've read the Sams book as well, they also have a really good book called "Lean PHP4 in 24 Hours." It?s the heart of PHP broken down into 24 one hour lessons. But neither of those books are "light" or "easy"; both are better with outside programming knowledge and both go over a lot of stuff you won't need unless your writing a full program in PHP. You are probably looking for something more like "Essential PHP For Web Professionals." It?s by Christopher Cosentino and its a great book to get your feet wet with. It will show you how to get results in PHP and you can probably be done with it in a day or two (only a couple hundred pages). But like I said its a book to get your feet wet in, if your going to be doing serious programming you will need to follow it up, but it will introduce you to the basic fundamentals of PHP and show you how to make use of it.
