Well when i decided just doing web design was not enough i went to borders books store looked around for a lil bit and saw this book "PHP and MySQL Web Development" (second edition) Authros are Luke Welling & Laura Thompson.... it does not treat you like a baby and starts you off asuming you understand HTML.... it was a great stepping stone and im still going back to it for question i have....was $50 but 100% worth it. Hope that helps

Hi,

May its not the exact answer for your question, but if you looking to develop a dynamic web sites, then check H2O the new develpment language h2o.aestiva.com

I think its the fastest way to build dynamic web sites with less complex of PHP and MySQL

Picking up a book is a good idea. It gets the basic use of how things are put together. The problem I have with it, thier examples never seem to fit what I'm trying to do with it. Not to mention, each book covers different things in a different way. If your looking for something specific it's hard to piece together what should be put with what if you don't have any previous programming experience. (Which is me)

Once you have the basic concept and your trying to do something productive and have problems with it. That is what I find is great about online forums. You have something that you can't get to work right, for me usually because I'm missing a ; or a ' or a " or a \ or a / somewhere. Or I just don't know how to put this command with that command to make it do this. These guys are Great and it's at that point that ppl can help. Generic questions are the hardest to answer because of the lack of information being provided.

Anyway, learn a bit for me will ya.
