Re: FN-FORUM: PHP Reference book

date posted 6th September 2006 10:34

A-ha a question i can answer (hopefully) I did PHP and MySQL in the
last year of Uni, the teacher was teaching at a more advanced level
than i was trying to learn, which wasnt fun, I ended up getting 3
books, the first was a "teach yourself" book called php with mysql by
nat macbride, very good in explaining it, in what it does and why,
isbn 0-340-90556-5, it was about =A35 when i bought it as there was a
sale on in waterstones at the time rrp on it is 9.99 though! the other
i bought was a dummies book, very handy as it gave explainations of
what each line of the code did, i actually got "php and mysql everyday
apps for dummies" i saw it in the works for 2.99 so i thought id get
it just incase there was something that might help, there are more
general php for dummies books, and i did get php and mysql for dynamic
web sites by larry ullman, its one of those visual quickpro/quickstart
guide books, which i usually find ever so helpful, but i dont think i
used that one as much! If your looking for a book for starting from
scratch i would recommend the teach youself one to start with!
