o'reilly php and mysql book

i have used this book and like it

To YoungTrek: I can't see any problems with the code, but then I don't tend to use the mysql functions directly. Try it out, see if it works.

As for MarCarNar, I'd suggest that you get a good grip of XHTML and CSS before you move on to PHP. If you're using Frontpage, then try using its HTML editing mode, where you type the page entirely in HTML as apposed to just typing then formatting using the buttons and have it generate the 'behind-the-scenes' code for you...

Not sure what level you are at, but php.net have done a pretty darn good tutorial for absolute beginners.
check it out: http://gr.php.net/tut.php

Also another great resource for web developers in general is:

PHP resources are listed under "Server-Side" on the right hand menu

alright, thanks guys.

Recommended Book:MySQL/PHP Database Applications
by Jay Greenspan & Brad Bulger

I used this & i like it.

Here you will face applications in detail for beginners as well as experts.

So, the book you are recommending is for beginners too right?

Ya I think so....

alright, well I mean, I like PHP.NET, but does it teach SQL tutorials, and its a really pain-in-the-ass to not be able to easily understand it, its fully detailed.

Ok.. Its fine. There should be somthing not to be understood for all. I wish You Best of Luck.

Thanks pal
