I see various on amazon... obviously the php and mysql for dummies is calling to be just because of the name. is there a better book for the money?
What is a good book to learn php and mysql?
Look for books from wrox - they are generally very comprehensive.
You might want to browse through w3schools.com first, though, to get a grasp on the basics.
If you have never programmed in a scripting language before, PHP is a good choice (but you can expect some learning overhead with MySQL).
Try out some open source applications which use PHP and MySQL, look over their code to get an idea of basic programming techniques.
You should also check out Philip Greenspun's introduction to Database Management Systems for some high-level concepts which will serve you well in MySQL:
