Well, like others, I reccomend MySQL by Paul Dubois. It is my only MySQL book besides the copy of the MySQL reference manual provided by work. I have an associate that has PHP and MySQL web development by Sams, and it gives my any references I need for PHP. Looks like it is being updated on the 13th of Feb, so maybe wait for the next edition which I assume will cover the latest versions of both.

HI Before I just go out and buy, I wanted to get some opinions / advice on what you all think the best MySQL and PHP resource books are. I am not web design illiterate (have HTML and Perl experience), but I haven’t the first clue about PHP and using MySQL with it. In other words, I am NOT looking for basic step by step books, but ones that have good, working examples, are formatted so to make finding things fairly simple, and also make note of Windows (IIS) specifics that I may need to know.
