What can I learn PHP from?

I want to learn the language PHP, but don't know where to go. I don't want to just learn the basics like how many ebooks are. I'm guessing that includes learning a lot more of MySQL too.
Basically, I want to be able to create a website with registration and such. It's for a club and I want to be able to include calendars, registration of accounts, possibly email (not needed), and a reflector (to send messages automatically).
Do you guys know any books that suits my needs? I guess, website tutorials work too but a book is preferable. Thanks for your help!
 
You always have to start somewhere, and there is no better place to start than at the basics.

When I began learning PHP six or seven months ago, I used W3Schools (http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/DEfaULT.asP) and Tizag (http://www.tizag.com/phpT/). I'm sure you can also learn how to use MySQL and work with databases for free online, instead of buying a book. I haven't delved in to MySQL yet, but I'm sure the tutorial at W3Schools (http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_mysql_intro.asp) would be helpful to you.

Good luck!
