MySQL/PHP Database applications by Greenspan and Bulger ISBN 0764535374 Good book. Also has a 40 page chapter on how to build a shopping cart complete with design rationale and working code (on CD)

I thought this would have been a great book if it weren't for the numerous errors in the code sections. I highly recommend it if you know PHP well enough to bang out a few forms and if you know MySQL well enough to write some INSERT and SELECT statements -- if this is the case then you will have no problem noticing the errors, and can use the book as a guide to writing complex web applications. In my case, though, I started learning PHP with this book, and the frustration with code errors drove me to return it to the store. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
