PHP and MySQL book

[feanor at gondolin.org (Bryan Strawser)]

I have the following PHP books that I like:

PHP Developer's Cookbook (Sams)

Core PHP Programming (Atkinson)

Professional PHP Programming (Wrox)

I found Professional PHP Programming to be the best for me at learning the
language, but I don't look back at it any longer.. The Developer's Cookbook
is excellent and I use several of the routines from there regularly.

In addition, I have the MySQL book from New Riders that I've found to be a
great resource....

Being a frequent visitor to sitepoint, I've pondered buying the SitePoint
PHP/MySQL book - anyone have any thoughts on it?

Thanks,
Bryan
