there are a few sites that offer Apache/PHP/MySQL bundles so you can play/test on your own machine, I got mine from http://firepages.com.au
they also have Active Perl and MySQL Front and the manuals for all

MySQL is great because it is free but it's not going to expose you to all the database world has to offer (yet!), like stored procedures, triggers, etc.

If you're going to use MySQL then the link already provided is probably the best place to start. If you've got a spare machine to play with just download it and start playing around and remember to have fun!

O'Reilly also has a good book on MySQL and MSSQL. It gives some general SQL and also a lot of reference tables.
