The one and only valuable source of information is www.php.net

But you need a bit of knowledge in programmation, but as you say, it should be ok.
I've never came across something that is done as well...But that's my own opinion.

www.phpbuilder.com is quite good too...

Yes. There are several excellent books. First check out www.sitepoint.com/. Sitepoint has one of the best and most active PHP/MySQL forums on the net. While there pick up Kevin Yank's book called "Build Your Own Database Driven Website with PHP and MySQL" - I just finished reading it myself. It's new.

Also, the MySQL bible is a book called MySQL by Paul DuBois. And of course php.net is the online manual which is excellent.

There are only 3 items of documentation that I constantly refer to.

These are the PHP manual in Windows Help Format. The MySQL manual, also in Windows Help format, and MySQL by Paul DuBois.

With these 3 items of reference you don't need anything else IMO.

I just ordered a book from Sam's entitled "PHP and MySQL Web Development" I hope the title is not misleading!
