Hey all-

After the responses I got in this thread (http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=261335)
I've decided to learn php.

Can anyone recommend a good, comprehensive book on PHP and MySQL for someone with little to no programming background (i.e. HTML, QBASIC, and a teensy bit of java)?

Thanks!
PHP is a very nice language. You can use it for the web and also use it to make php scripts that you can run from the shell to help you do a specific task. PHP is designed to be easy and it is! PHP also has great database support. Some of the best sites I know of that have PHP content are

-Http://www.PHP.net
-http://www.phpfreaks.com
-http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/programming/php/tutorials/tutorial4.html
-http://www.g33k-101.com/Tutorials/PHP/PHP%20Tutorial.pdf

and other websites. If you can get a book, I would purchase one that covers PHP and Mysql. Like Sams teach yourself PHP in 24 hours or PHP 5 for dummies.
