This link dosen't work anymore... but I found a PERFECT e-book list on TPB (the pirate bay) , you can download only one book if you want... or all the 56 books!(Note: needs bit-torrent file downloader like utorrent)
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4062693/Web_Developer_Books
Enjoy!
Edit:
OOh forgot to say... PHP5 for dummies is one of the books

 

[JXVForums]

If its a coding language, having an e-book is rather annoying and without a class, its hard making something without having a task for the first time, and if its like a forum thing, its hard to just start without knowning pretty much everything you need to start with, so its just using the samples which is like little knowledge until you have something to start with.

Other than that the php book would help, and thanks for the torrent link.
