Or both, really. The cover different topics. There's not much in Programming PHP or Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL for an experienced PHP programmer. They're more introductory texts. As for MySQL, Second Edition, I think you may be better off checking out MySQL Cookbook instead. MySQL, the product, has had lots of changes in the last year, and MySQL, Second Edition is a year and a half old. (Note that Paul DuBois is the author of both MySQL books.) While I'm plugging books, check out my forthcoming book: Upgrading to PHP 5. It should be out in July. :) As a co-author of PHP Cookbook, I’m biased, but if you’re already familiar with PHP, then you probably want to buy PHP Cookbook or Advanced PHP Programming.
