I started reading some PHP books. Most of them in their introduction say that this book , unlike other books, it follows a good habits and practices. Now, I do not know which book tells the truth, and which writer is the most experienced in PHP.

These are the books that I had a quick look to their first chapter:

• PHP and MySQL Web Development (Developer's Library) by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson.
• Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL by Kevin Yank.
• PHP and MySQL for Dummies by Janet Valade.

Now, it's your time to advise me and tell me about the excellent one that follows best practices, please give an advice from your experience. (It could be any other book!).
