Great book for PHP/MySql

[awligon]

I just picked up
Web Database Applications with PHP and MySql by O'Reilly and it's actually very informative for moderately skilled programmers. If you're like me, and you've taught yourself everything you know, you probably missed a few 'meat and potatoes' things along the way like bulk loading *.cds files into a database ;). I give it seven thumbs up. :}

Sounds good, I don't have any professional training with php other then jubba lol so maybe I should look into that book

I actually didn't like that book. The best PHP book (if you are a visual learner) is this one:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764535617/qid=1062308895/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-7259903-1678464?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

It shows you real examples and is easy to use and see and there isn't too much lengthy text. :)

I have the book Jubba recommended and I think it is alright but sometimes it seems like you are learning some out of place things. It's good though. I mean, I read it and I know how to use print. :thumb:

Well if you don't know how to implement the things that are in that book then you need to re-think your approach to PHP.

I just need to read past the first chapter. When I started it I didn't understand any aspects of any coding language what so ever, but now it makes a lot more sense to me. My approach has been rethoughted.
