hello

I was wondering what Im sure a well knowledged php expert like your self would recommend a hands on php crash course. The best way for me to jump right in to understanding php and getting started making my first data base. with php3 and mysql. I understand that is how you have to do it. See Im running a apache server that my father started. And up to this point have been working with basic cgi stuff and dealing with tech support and minor web design. But I need to get into data base stuff and the only way Im going to be able to make something like a shopping cart or anything of that nature is to learn. My father knew allot of this stuff but Un fortunately he past away and Im stuck. So any suggestions would be great and can I count on you to answer any questions I might have. I have been going to the php.net site. And are starting there. Thank you and god Bless. Ps. Any books you think would be my best start. Im pretty good at picking things up but I have never messed with php3 either. I also Know about php4 but I have users I guess up till now are using php3 will this change what the are doing and continuing to do. I mean do they have learn and change everything to or is it I except everything till now and then more of what php4 offers too. Im not sure how that works. I do not want to change anything on the server UN LESS IM VERY VERY SURE<<< Ok well I thank you so much. -- Regards Herb McDonald
