Reddit reviews PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy

There's a book by david powers called PHP solutions: Dynamic web design made easy. Its awesome. It took me an entire summer to motivate myself through it, but he walks you through building a website from square one. It focuses on PHP, but in the process you'll pick up HTML and CSS, which are the building blocks of web design. He also walks you through database setup, building login screens, authenticating users, etc. Can't recommend this book enough. Also, I learned from the ebook, which was useful in copying and pasting code he wrote into your own scripts when you're too lazy to re-type them.
