Peachpit Press
I learnt by reading PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites
It is written for PHP 5.6 so it is outdated (unless they have updated it since)
The follow on book is also worth reading. It helped me understand how to use OOP in PHP
PHP Advanced and Object-Oriented Programming
When I read these books they were written for PHP 5.6. PHP is now on 7.2 and there has been a lot of features since then. It'll still help you get a practical grasp of PHP.
As cout112 suggested, PHP the right way is a really good resource too. I highly recommend going through some of the pages.
Best of luck with the new job.

Wrong link. This is the correct one. http://www.ryerson.ca/calendar/2015-2016/pg3622.html
aah well if you primarily like webpage designing and management and sorts then you can start with HTML/CSS and move up to php,sql and javascript. I've seen many job openings for people efficient with the above.
Now if you want to go to the path of making apps and program then you can choose C++/Java/Python+swift(or swift alone if iOS developer is your focal point) which is very lucrative.
Personally I hated C++ and I am learning Java. I use the course book "Intro to Java Programming" by Daniel Liang which comes with a website that lets you preview examples which really helps. I've heard that python codes are easier to begin with but Java has the market. This article might help you decide what to go with. Also I have found learning html/css is very useful as many blogs and such allows you executive control over design with html/css. I am learning php and sql with the help of this book and this one which is really top notch. They require you to have prior knowledge on HTML and CSS so I'd recommend you to use codecademy to kickstart it all. They have HTML/CSS, JavaScript, python among others. I am really fond of their beautiful UI and learning process which helps a lot. At the end of the course they have where you have to build a project to complete the course which is really cool and exciting imo.
Good luck in your journey and get the 8.1, it's not bad as people make it out to be, it's kind of like OS X but windows people adore the start functionality and reporters who use mac join on the bandwagon. Also windows 7 requires cost to upgrade to 8.1 and possibly to 10 whereas 10 will most probably be free for 8.1 users. I adore the multi tasking functionality on the 8.1 and prefer it to 7.
Well said.
To add to this, if you're looking for a good book on PHP, I'd highly recommend Larry Ullman's 3 book series, although since you're already familiar with programming in general, I'd start with the second one (http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Dynamic-Web-Sites/dp/0321784073/) and then the third one (http://www.amazon.com/PHP-Advanced-Object-Oriented-Programming-QuickPro/dp/0321832183/).
Magento is a world in its own. If you can master it though, your value as webdev will increase significantly. Good luck!
