Books

I am new to php and I was wondering what books would be a good read or what is a good online resource to start coding.

This site's a good spot to start off...

PHP Cookbook is a good book...

Kevin Yanks: "Build a Database driven website using PHP and MySQL" is a really good book for starting out...

Learn PHP in 24 hours helped me out...

there's a start?

Just play around with PHP/MySQL type Programs as well... Bulletin Boards like phpBB - CMS' such as Mambo...
