freewebmasterhelp.com — For many people, the main reson for learning a scripting language like PHP is because of the interaction with databases it can offer. In this tutorial I will show you how to use PHP and the MySQL database to store information on the web and include it into your website.

This isn't news at all.."The ONLY places I would suggest learning PHP from are Zend and Sitepoint."Erm, why?You'll limit your self a lot.. Theres loads of good tutorial sites.. www.oxyscripts.com is what i learned from a lot, mainly looking at script snippets etc, the rest I learned from searching for how to do something, and seeing how a certain command was used/what it did, and using it in a different way etc.. During the first month or so of learning PHP I'd written several MB of code.. Best way to learn PHP, fiddle.. Not the Zend/Sitepoint websites...As for PHP/MySQL, it's extremely easy to learn, basics are$db=mysql_connect("host","user","pass");$result=mysql_query("SELECT * from tablename");andwhile($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result){print($row['columName']);}and good practise ismysql_close($db);That, and basic PHP, and basic MySQL commands (Or working out how to use phpMyAdmin, and getting the SQL from there..), you can do a lot..- Ben

Ben, I meant the basics. Of course those two can't teach everything.
