I'm fairly new at php and I'm having a problem putting everything together. Are there any websites that have examples of complete php applications. Or are there any books that anyone recommends that I read? I'm currently creating an application in which a data from a html form is input into a mysql database. Halfway into coding the application I realized that it would be more beneficial to have the data from the html form inputted into an array instead of directly into the database.... I think that if I could see more examples of code I would be more familiar with common solutions for applications rather than attempt to create an application then realize there was a more efficient way that it could have been done. Anyone have any recommendations? Thank you in advance.

Greetings everyone!! My name is Brian and I'm fairly new to PHP. I'm in the IT field (networking) and my hobby is Amateur boxing. My goal is to learn how to create a "boxing prediction script" that will allow people to predict the outcome of upcoming boxing matches. I've been reading for about the past two years on PHP/Mysql.. I have a good grasp of the basics and fundamentals but putting it all together is the challenging part. I look forward to meeting new people, giving advice from the small experience that I do have and learning from some of the more experienced members. Thank you!
