"Why Would I Want a Database?"
Because you aren't a dumbass, perhaps? - surpher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Jesus, not another PHP/MySQL tutorial!? Seems like more than half of the tutorails online are PHP/MySQL anyway.

=-o - john21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the best place to learn php is from the help that comes with it
- nickster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I Think this one is the best:
http://www.hudzilla.org/phpbook/ - ballbag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol, at least all these dupes and random tutorial sites have helped point me in the direction of the decent ones. Thanks;)
- Dan?!, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is twice someone posted that site for tutorials. The ONLY places I would suggest learning PHP from are Zend and Sitepoint.

lol - ericpp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I learned PHP mostly from http://www.phpbuilder.com/ and the "Beginning PHP4" book (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764543644/qid=1127431883/sr=8-4/ref=pd_bbs_4/102-0817360-1813719?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)
- Dan?!, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ben, I meant the basics. Of course those two can't teach everything.
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This 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");
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * from tablename");
and
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result){
print($row['columName']);
}
and good practise is
mysql_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 - Philodox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0It's a good thing these php/mysql tutorials keep getting posted, otherwise people might confuse digg with a general news site rather than the last great bastion of web programming that it is.
- nthitz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Another crappy tutorial from another crappy site. And lets be honest,t this isn't really news.
