Kevin Yank, Build Your Own Database-Driven Web Site with PHP and MySQL (Sitepoint, 2009)
I have just finished my first read through Kevin Yank's Build Your Own Database-Driven Web Site with PHP and MySQL. I can tell you that it will not be my last read through it, by any means. While there are a few places it glosses over and a few rather shocking omissions in the name of simplicity, it was (and I can rarely say this with a computer book) exactly what I was looking for.

Build Your own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL is a practical hands-on guide to learning all the tools, principles and techniques needed to build a fully functional database-driven web site using PHP & MySQL.

While this is essentially a beginners book, it also covers more advanced topics such as the storage of binary data in
I initially gave this book a mediocre review. However, after spending some time in the field trying to learn Php/Mysql programming. I realize this is one of the better, if not best, sources of information on how to quickly, easily, and effectively accomplish the task at hand. He gives a pretty thorough treatment of the problems you will happen upon while attempting to build a site like this.

I liked this book. The reason I gave it only three stars is that I found it to be too short; I felt the need for more detail in some areas, and more flushed out examples. One thing missing was any visual help in looking at the resulting web pages. I guess the assumption is that you follow along, either grabbing the code from the book's web site, or typing it in, and then seeing for yourself.
The Core Web Applications book by Marc Wandschneider provides more in-depth coverage and advice.
