PHP & MySQL Book Recommendation?

[alpha]

hey guys,

I can do simple PHP and MySQL interaction, but im interested in advanced development.

I know C++ so I easily learned PHP (except, i would like to learn more about object oriented programming).

I've been looking for a book that will let me learn advanced PHP and MySQL web development... and was wonder if anyone has any comments about:

PHP and MySQL Web Development
by Luke Welling, Laura Thomson

I was thinking of buying:
MySQL (new rider press) since i was completely new to MySQL
but i saw the other book and look into it, and it seemed pretty good

so any comments?
thanks :)
