MySql and PHP 5 Book suggestions?

Off Topic

Just a quick run down. I know enough of PHP and MySql to alter someone else's code. I'd like to know more about it. The previous techie here left the website in a great mess. I'm fixing a lot of their mistakes but I need some more help. For example: Right now I don't know how to make a dynamic page show a product title or at the very least I'd like a 'breadcrumb' listing. eg. /Japanese/Videos/Anime/DVD. Something like that for example.

So I know enough to look at a code, understand why certain things happen and see the relationship between different files. I just want to know more so I can do those things I mentioned.

I'm looking into getting these books. Do you have any other suggestions?

PHP and MySQL for Dummies, Second Edition

PHP 5 for Dummies

Mahalo.

ps. In the future I'll need a database website for my other business. Any suggestions on a host? I prefer MySql and the ability to have a PHP shopping cart.

Thanks.

I've been to php.net before and it's very good.

I just prefer to have a book in front of me. I won't be getting DSL at home for another 2 weeks and I want something to read that doesn't require me to go online. I can't surf too much here at work.

But I will save those links. Thanks! =)
