[SOLVED] PHP Book Suggestions?

[j.g.]

Hello All!

 

I've just accepted a position in which I'll be doing some PHP programming, and I'm looking for some suggestions on some good book(s) to help me get started.  Looking for either PHP only or PHP and MySQL - whatever you've found helpful in the past!  I've perused what's out on Amazon - but everyone thinks their book is the best, so I thought I'd come to the experts for some advice.

 

Thanks for your time and help!  Happy Wednesday!
