RE: [PHP] Newbie Book & Database Question

Professional PHP Programming from WROX publishing is a good book too. I use php and MySQL. -Steve. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Montgomery [mailto:lists@airtightweb.com] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 9:02 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Newbie Book & Database Question Howdy, I have been developing with ColdFusion for nearly five years and want to learn PHP. For someone who has never done anything with PHP before, what *one* book would you recommend as a good primer to get started learning PHP? Also, do most PHPers use MySQL as your database when building dynamic web sites, or do you prefer alternative databases like Postgres? From what I have seen from afar, MySQL seems to be the dominant one, but I have read that Postgres is more robust.
