PatterSon Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hey, I was just wondering if anyone can recommend any books that I could learn php and mysql from? Or websites, although I tend to find it harder to read stuff online if there is lots. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isomerizer Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Books What is this "book" you speak of? >_> Websites, most common ones are: http://www.php.net http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp Main ones i use. w3schools is pretty simple and straight forward.

Floydian Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Books I second the reccomendation for the Larry Ullman books. They're top notch and very easy to follow. The author has a website here: http://www.dmcinsights.com/ You'll find a forum there where the author is active in. You don't have to buy the book to access the forum either. Naturally I don't suggest going to that forum over this one. Since that forum is specifically geared towards supporting his books, and this site is geared towards PHP Gaming in general. It'd be a good place to check the author and his books out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudinski Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Books I'd recommend a book from Orielly, quality and a great learning experience. For Dummies books are also not to bad, but with them, you learn what they want you to learn, nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydian Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Re: Books That's phat. Just remember it's a QuickPro guide, which means the material in it may be more challenging than one starting out in php and mysql might want. However, Larry is excellent with helping people out, and helping them when they have a problem. The big thing to remember though is always always always post your php version, mysql version, webserver version, and operating version whether you think it matters for the question you ask or not. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
