You can't go wrong with the For Dummies collection, check out WHSmith or something and they will probably have a copy.

is My SQl + PHP For Dummies. Get them at whsmith and all local book stores imo .
I quite like Sitepoint's PHP Anthology but it's not really about learning the language more about practical solutions to common problems.
Over the past months I've just printed off various pages and sit and read them now and again, it's the easiest and cheapest way if you are just starting out but I do recommend getting a book as it'll probably explain the coding more.
No need to print, unless your like some people whos eyes hurt from reading on a pc, fairs, fair with that.
But I highly recommend the "[something[-head" books its head..something.. i can't remember, I read a bit of one of them and forgot to dload it.
Anyway, gtg, bye!
Interesting, the most obvious and quite interesting.
