I really liked 'MySQL/PHP Database Applications' by Jay Greenspan and Brad
Bulger (published by Wiley, isbn 0764535374).  Lots of example
applications, moving through increasing levels of complexity.  They're
good on writing clean code and structuring applications, too.  The cd is
handy too, especially the searchable pdf'd version of the book.

I'd been writing web applications with php/mysql for a while when I read 
it but I still use it as a reference.

HTH!
