I've never read a tangible book on php, however many people suggest 
O'reilly's books: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progphp/
Whether it is the "best" or not remains to be seen.

I probably learned 60% of everything that I know about PHP through 
Google, php.net, and email groups like this one.

There are so many editors out there. I'm personally a linux guy & use 
Kate. If you are considering Dreamweaver, I would imagine you are using 
windows. If you have money to burn, Zend is an awesome editor and I 
highly recommend it however it is quite expensive.
