Re: Where do I get started?

I am also very knew at PHP/MySQL and have been busy populating my MySQL databases with tables (phpMyAdmin is a snap-LOL!). I am currently reading 3 different books on PHP, which also discuss use of MySQL as the back end: Essential PHP (Julie Meloni), Beginning PHP (Wrox), and Essential PHP for Web Professionals (Christopher Cosentino). I also bought a book appropriately titled MySQL by Paul DuBois as additional reference for the back end. Dont forget the web: There are also tutorials on the web that may help also.
