The Zend Studio is an awesome integrated development environment (IDE) for PHP
work.  If you write PHP in Emacs--even if you are really good with
Emacs--switching to Zend Studio will make you cry for all the time you wasted
before you knew about it.  I believe the Zend Studio is available in a full
version (with features aimed at paid programmers) and a free "trial" version
aimed at the casual programmer.

I've also really enjoyed O'Reilly's "PHP Cookbook".  I started learning PHP by
reading the book "PHP and MySQL Development" from SAMS written by Welling and
Thomson.  That was recommended in lots of USENET posts and it was pretty good. 
However, if you know a programming language and are willing to fumble through
your "Hello World" based upon PHP web tutorials then "PHP Cookbook" quickly
shows you everything you wanted to do in PHP and it's packed into a small package.
