"PHP + MySQL Book"

I've decided that it might be an idea to buy a book on this stuff, so I can sit down and start from the very basics on both so that I can actually do things correctly without accidentally wiping everything off of the face of the Earth...

What ones are good? Just ~imagine~ that I'm a complete idiot and no (I actually wrote 'no' for some reason...) nothing about this stuff...

Plus if someone recommends me a really good book, I might buy it through their Amazon referral thingy to say 'thanks'...

That is unless I can find it cheaper elsewhere...

I always think such questions are a bit like asking what is your favourite colour. The best recommendation I can give you is to take a trip down to your local bookstore and have a browse and see which one suits you. Most of these type of books are written to a fairly high standard, the trick is to find one that explains things in a manner which you can relate to best and thats purely a personal thing.
