i'm kinda looking for something along those lines, too... i'm easily worn out 
trying to learn from reading other's code, these days... i just don't seem to 
have the stamina that i once had for this stuff... i started to print the PHP 
docs some time back until i discovered they were some 900 pages (IIRC... a too 
large number for printing, anyway)... i had thought about purchasing a PHP book 
but always balked at their price... until i was going to print the doc...

as for SQL, one would need a book for the database one is working with... i'm 
sure that a general SQL book would go a long way but some databases have their 
pecularities...
