"PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson (Sams Publishing, Copyright 2001) is the best book on the market I think. But it depends on your skill level. This book has a section on basic PHP language, another section on setting up MySQL databases, and a third section with practical examples of PHP/MySQL projects, including source code etc.
This book covers 90% of everything you'd need to REALLY know. For the other 10%, I like to use the WROX series "Professional PHP Programming" by Castagnetto, Rawat, Schumann et. al. It has more fine details of the PHP language which Welling and Thomson just couldn't cover. But the WROX book only has one chapter on interfacing with MySQL. It does have a nice library of MySQL functions in the glossary, however, which Welling and Thomson would have been really wise to incorporate. The two of these books make a SLAMMING dynamic duo. You just can't fail with them.
