PHP Newb Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hello, So I am new to PHP, and programming. The only other programming I know anything about is html, although some may not consider that programming but it is all I know. So, I really want to learn PHP and MySQL, so that I can get started in a career with it as soon as I know enough and can mess around enough to find a job somewhere. I bought 3 books on PHP and MySQL: Beginning PHP and MySQL From Novice to Professional - by W. Jason Gilmore PHP and MySQL Web Development - by Luke Welling and Laura Thomson Visual Quickpro Guide PHP 6 and MySQL 5 - by Larry Ullman I've read the intro's to each of those, and the beginning of each chapter 1, and I even made it to Chapter 2 in the one by Jason Gilmore, and they seem like too steep of a gradient. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a book for someone who only knows html, something that is fairly easy and goes step by step. Maybe like a dummies book or something. But I figure people here probably would have some good input, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
