A quick search on Amazon throws up this. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321245652/ref=sr_aps_books_1_1/202-1038935-1487825 The reviewers seem positive enough about it... I don't have anything to do with the company or anything like that, and I haven't read this book myself, but what I have used by them before has been pretty effective and economic.

For absolute beginners I stand by what I said weeks > ago when Joseph was starting out, that the Dummies php/mySQL guide's > the best starting point for someone who has absolutely zero knowledge > at all. john.f.hughes Goodbody Stockbrokers Private Clients Ballsbridge Park + 353 1 6416048 This information is confidential and may be privileged.
