Those SAMS books are great. I get them out at the library when I can.
I've had a number of the php books out at late.
My biggest problem is that I'm not sure what I need to remember to know
(if that makes sense).
I could have finished this project 3 times over in ASP and it's not
until I actually go to 'do it' that I realise I don't know how to do
something...
For example, it just never occured to me that I'd have to test the
_POST("x"). In ASP if you use a request("x") that doesn't exist it just
ignores you. Not that this makes ASP any better, it's just different.
So as I discover them I either do a quick google, post to list or refer
to a book. I find posting most helpful because then people also tell me
the best practice rather than giving me the big list of options that the
docs often do.
Cheers Don

Don,
I can recommend 2 excellent books:
PHP in 10 Minutes by SAMS publishing.
Succinct, fast and $cheap. It will answer most of your fundamental PHP
questions with minimum fuss.
2. PHP and MyQL Web Development, Welling & Thomson, 3rd Edition,
Developers Library
This is the best tutorial style text that guides you through the maze of
material on PHP and MySQL. If you really want to get your head around
PHP and MySQL integration, take the time to read it.
