I am looking at buying a book to help me learn PHP and MYSQL a bit more indepth.
Thought this book "Head First PHP & MySQL http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596006303.do
looked pretty fun to learn with.
Has anybody here read it / can recommend it?
Or recommend any other good books for a beginner?
It was good, but is dated now. There are still good concepts, but without knowing where they are dated, you are at a loss.
Check these:

Cool thank you very much - ordered this one to begin with Learning PHP, MySQL & JavaScript: With jQuery, CSS & HTML5.
So I can have a look into jquery and javascript too.
Just arrived - Looks good, not a light read lol :o
When I checked, I believe it taught mysqli database functions
