RE: [PHP-DB] Indepth Tutorial... need help.

Just one more to throw on the fire: Pretty basic tutorial that covers a lot of topics. If you buy the book, there's a little more depth. On my first day working with PHP/MySQL, I had basic pages up and running. http://www.webmasterbase.com/article/228 Incidentally, this same question was asked by a different user last week. You might want to poke around the php-db archives for some other recommendations. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Zur [mailto:mattz@zurnet.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 9:09 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Indepth Tutorial... need help.
