I would love some recommendations on what books are most helpful for learning PHP.

I know XHTML, CSS, some Javascript. I do know some PHP as well.

Also can someone also recommend some books on Advanced PHP, that actually shows how to create a fully functional and somewhat complex website/application. (Like RailSpace does for Ruby on Rails)

From what I have seen no book explains the complete development or fully functional website. All books do is to give you a basic understanding to get you started in whatever you want to do. Books helps in understanding the framework or the underlying architecture. The only best way to learn or develop a fully functional website or portal is to start working on it by exploring.

Exploring is the first part, where you decide what has to be done, how has to be done, the different technologies that has to be used, how they gets linked, decide on scalability issues, decide on the backend or the client server architecture etc. Once this is done, you have basically crossed a big hurdle.

The next step is to plan as to what exactly has to be done and how. Prioritize the list of tasks that has to be completed...

Learning curve will be very steep in this case. It will also be valuable. This is the way to go about... and i doubt if you will find a book that will explain all the intricacies of developing a fully functional site. Hope this helps.

I've read a couple but the one I found to be THE BEST is:

Web Database Application with PHP and MySQL, 2nd Edition

By David Lane, Hugh E. Williams

It a must-read for anyone starting from scratch!

There are lots of books on php, but I tried learning from "php by examples" and "Php and Mysql Bible".
