• Beginning PHP5 (PHP 5.3 Version)
  
• Professional PHP5
  
• Beginning PHP5, Apache, and MySQL Web Development
  
• Beginning Regular Expressions
  

With those 4 books you have everything you need. But you could add Expert PHP & MySQL as well.

Wrox ftw! Seriously I like their books.

Great, if you do though remember that there are a lot of errata between those books and PHP 5.3, which is becoming more and more common to find. Not so much that you can't just check the PHP errata website if you have an issue with PHP 5.3 though.
