I got started with a book called, "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson, published by SAMS. This book is clearly written with the "self-taught" programmer in mind, tearing apart numerous real-world examples and explaining relevant concepts in depth. It does not go into theory or advanced topics making it a terrible book for the experienced programmer. It is also not a good function reference. But far as reference goes, I say forget the books. Nothing can beat the function search at www.php.net.
