Any good PHP books?

[volante]

I've finally decided to get off my arse and learn PHP, 'cos apparently it's quite good ;)

Any recommendations on a good "teach-yourself-PHP" book or two?

php.net is really the only resource you need

but you could get "PHP Programming" the WROX book, the Visual series titled "PHP" by Whitehead/Desamero and "Web Application Development in PHP 4.0" by Ratschiller/Gerken.

there are plenty of free online tutorials and such.. and again, php.net with the complete function reference.

A good beginner book, and one that finally let me grasp the language when I started to learn it was "PHP Essentials" by Julie Meloni
