Re: PHP+MySQL=Help(?)

. No reading that section of the manual did me no good. I do not understand other than I cannot store the results as a variable. Is there any of what I have done that is usable? A recommendation for a book that covers this would be helpful... the manual on this area is way to abbreviated for someone who has only used PHP for 2 weeks.
