silverglade Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi, I am looking for a good thorough book on PHP and mysql that doesn't have a tutorial of the entire php language. I already bought this "PHP and MySQL Web Development (4th Edition) by Luke Welling and Laura ", and it was terrible, I looked through it and half of the book is description, it could have been written about half the size. I don't want Visual quickstart Larry Ullman's book. But other than that if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I am returning the book I just bought and I am looking through the "look inside pages" feature on amazon and I find they either baby you, or are too advanced. Thank you. I might have to go to a bookstore on this subject. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239458-looking-for-good-book-on-php-and-mysql/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
