Advice on how I should go about learning php/mySQL
Hey Guys
I have been working on my websites for awhile now and I have gained some simple knowledge in many different things. I have now decided that I am going to try and learn some php/mySQL programming.
I run and will be running many content sites and I would like to learn how to set up and run php/MySQL driven websites.
I don't have much free time, but I want to try to sit down for 20 minutes or so a day to learn.
I wanted to know what book(s) you guys might have to suggest for me to read or websites that may be able to take teach me everything, but probably a book would be best. It would have to be (painless lol) easily read and easy to understand, if you get what I mean?
Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.Patrick O'Keefe, iFroggy Network

hi
1. Website: www.webmasterbase.com ... look for Kevin Yank's guide called "Building Database Driven Websites"....great (and free
)
2. Book: Professional PHP Programming (Wrox Press)
I think you should be willing to put in a bit more than 20 mins a day
.... its worth it

Follow the link in my signature for online resources. But, I agree that Kevin's tutorial is a good starting point.

I started learning PHP about a year ago, when the SitePoint tutorial came out. But I never was committed and didn't go far at all. I tried learning off and on around four times in the last year. But school/work usually got in the way. Now I am trying again...hopefully I can go somewhere with this
Anyway, the SitePoint tutorial is probably the best one across the Internet. Devshed also has a nice tutorial, but it doesn't go as far as the SitePoint one (I don't think).

So, basically, you are telling me that if I read that tutorial top to bottom, I will know how to set up the backend for my websites?
Just checking.
