ToonMariner Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'd just start on web tutorials this one goes through the basics (even installation!) http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php-amp-mysql-1-installation once you are happy with querying databases etc etc then perhaps PHP and MySQl Web Development http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Development-Developers-Library/dp/0672326728/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_k2a_3_img/002-3047012-9362457 will be of use use....

audiokiwi Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 My Favorite book is PHP5 & Mysql Bible (http://www.amazon.com/PHP5-MySQL-Bible-Tim-Converse/dp/0764557467). It shows you everything you'll need to know, but you can take it one chapter at a time and still become proficient fast.
