PHP/MySQL books?
Ok. I'm a bit rusty. A friend has asked me to help update and manage their site. Years ago (geez, it feels like almost a lifetime) I did some dabbling and such into PHP and built a few things. Now the site is still PHP 4 and MySQL 5 (I think). It is using VBulletin (no, not a security site). I'm a bit old fashioned and prefer reading paper than screen so..
Anyone found any recent PHP/MySQL books to be of benefit, both general and security-specific oriented? :D

Uh.. I was looking for personal recommendations of books used by people. And as I said, I prefer paper/hardcopy, not online. I have no problem paying for what I believe is worth it.

Well when I started with PHP from a C++ background, I went with Sams teach yourself php4 in 24 hours and then MySQL in 21 Days, later to discover there is one in the Sam's series that covers both.
Sams series is very good for a good grounding but not for more advanced stuff.
