PHP for people who don't know PHP
Could you recommend a good book or Web tutorial on PHP for includes and scheduled occurrences? I'm a bit dense, and so is a lot of the stuff I've found out there (such as the official documentation at PHP.net) or hopelessly specific (such as Webmonkey): I need a Big Picture and lots of examples.

I learned PHP from Julie C. Meloni's "PHP Essentials". It's good, I didn't find anything about scheduled occurrences (I just check dates against ones stored in databases, guess I cheated) but it had great session handling chapters and easy to follow examples.
I chose this book because it was on the bargain table at Border's. Is this a good reason to choose a book? Probably not. If you're not cheap like me you should probably look into a good O'Reilly programming book just like normal (they have a PHP one).
I don't use web tutorials for learning basics. I don't think they're effective and I just don't learn from them as well as I do from books, I'm weird like that. I'll do searches to find ones with little details in them but that's it, if you really must learn something, I say go the book route.
