Professional PHP Programming from WROX publishing is a good book too. I use php and MySQL.

For someone who has never done anything with PHP before, what *one* book would you recommend as a good primer to get started learning PHP? Also, do most PHPers use MySQL as your database when building dynamic web sites, or do you prefer alternative databases like Postgres? From what I have seen from afar, MySQL seems to be the dominant one, but I have read that Postgres is more robust.
