Could someone recommend (and why?) a good, current book...

[N8]

....for learning html, css, & php. It doesn't have to be one book. It
can be serveral for each topic. I'm trying to get started in learning it.

Thanks

The Oreilly reference books are not too bad. Combine that with a
good editor like HTML-Kit (free) or TopStyle ($90 us or so) and start
playing. It is the only way to learn. Oh yea, come here every now
and then too.

As you said... Why? Why use books... use the medium (internet) that you
will be learning to work in...

HTML for the World Wide Web (with XHTML and CSS)
by Elizabeth Castro

PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Websites
by Larry Ullman
(I notice that he has a book out that covers PHP 4 and 5,
however, my copy covers PHP 3 and 4)

I am happy with the HTML Book but I am not so sure about the
PHP book.

It's the coding style I have problems with - I prefer to drop
in and out of PHP as necessary and work with functions,
passing values as is necessary while it appears that the
author sometimes reuses his code, sometimes he doesn't reuse
the code and sometimes echoes the HTML stuff rather that drop
out of PHP mode, drop in to HTML mode etc...but it is a
beginner book.
