When I was trying to learn PHP a major deterrence was thinking of projects. When I would Google what to test my skills on, the list would go from something basic like a calculator to a full blown content management system. Pretty difficult in terms of skill gap. So I bought Beginning PHP and MYSQL when I was starting out and it's pretty straight forward: http://www.amazon.ca/Beginning-PHP-MySQL-Professional-Edition/dp/1430231149/ref=pd_rhf_se_shvl1

I started with Head First PHP & MySQL when I started years ago. Two books I loved the most though were Beginning PHP and MySQL From Novice to Professional and PHP Solutions Dynamic Web Design Made Easy.

Later this book helped me immensely PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice.
