That php/mysql course is overkill. IMO theming Drupal is 75% CSS/HTML 10% PHP and 15% Drupal Configuration. If you only have a little CSS knowledge spend your time there.

Thank you everyone for these responses!
I have watched the lullabot and lynda.com videos and have a good conceptual understanding at this point...along with a little css and html experience.
I have not dug in and developed a theme yet, but getting prepared. I guess what I'm trying to extract is how php is used in relation to drupal themes.
With so much else to get my head around, I'm hoping I can somehow learn just what's necessary for theme development so I don't have to read a whole additional book.
For example there is a lynda.com php/mysql course but that might be overkill?

How much php knowledge is required to develop / customize drupal themes efficiently?
Do I need to read a whole book or is there some basic documentation of the essential php used for drupal theming?
Any resources would be greatly appreciated!
