I'm looking for a good book that teaches PHP through a case study. I like to learn by example, so I'd like to find a book that teaches programming an example website in PHP. What's the best book you know of?

If totally new to PHP , I'd start with PHP for Dummies, or PHP in 24 hours. Another book I find I refernce alot is the PHP Bible along with PHP.net.

However, the depths of php isn't really needed for Drupal immediately. If you are looking to build modules or manipulate drupal I'd start with one of the books dedicated to drupal. Pro Drupal Development may be a good place to start, which has walk through how how modules are built.
