Please give me books you thing I should read on:
MySQL reference... as in all definitions, syntax, etc...
PHP reference.. same as above
and...
MySQL and PHP starter books... php and mysql for dummies or is there somthing better? I'm not that new... so whatever's best for a novice beginner.
One more thing... I'm building a site where I need users to log in and then "link codes" from a mysql database need to be referenced from the user's ID in the url form a get call.
Please direct me to books that will help me with that type stuff... user account and cross referencing.
Thanks in advance. :)

Seriously, if you really want to learn PHP and MySQL, set up a server, install them and then give yourself a *big* project that requires the use of them both extensively.
Whenever you encounter something that you have no idea how to do, Google it.
This'll happen a lot to start with of course, but you'll learn *very* fast this way and you'll find yourself learning extra things that you'd never have got from a book.
For the very basics, Google for "quick PHP tutorial" (or similar) and for the very obscure, well, welcome to WebmasterWorld!
Use what you would have spent on books to buy yourself a few beers :-)
