PHP is by far the most popular and easiest to use web programming language in the world. If your goal is to enter PHP programming and development as a novice beginner and start from the very basics, these books are reviewed the best by actual readers. Some of the books contain chapters dealing with MySQL, the most popular database system in the world that is usually combined with PHP to create websites or web applications.
Update: I have also hand picked a few PHP security books for people who develop web applications.

Which book about PHP would you recommend for a begginer? I did few small sites in php (custom blog, simple forms), but I would like to expand my PHP knowledge – specially I’d like to learn more about concepts when building bigger portal sites (optimization, best practices).
First title from list sounds like what I need, but don’t want to spend money on books without hearing feedback from someone who read it first.
