PHP for the World Wide Web - Visual QuickStart Guide - Larry Ullman - 2001.

    While there are several professional-level books available on PHP, there are few guides to this open-source scripting language for students who may be familiar with HTML but are not studying to be professional programmers. PHP for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickStart Guide is a task-based, visual reference guide that features step-by-step instructions and plenty of screen shots-the ideal way for students to learn the basics of PHP, starting with basic syntax, testing scripts, working with variables, creating Web applications, and more.

  Anybody who knows HTML can use this book, if you've done any programming, that will be useful, but it's not a requirement.
