I have been putting this off for too long. So I went out a few days ago and picked me up two books to help me get started learning PHP coding and MySQL syntax. I am pretty sure this is the kind of stuff I want to do for a living so I am going to dive deep into it.

The books are:

MySQL Crash Course by Ben Forta : Booksamillion.com (0672327120, Paperback)

Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL by Hugh E. Williams and David Lane : Booksamillion.com (0596005431, Paperback)

I am just getting started but so far it looks like I picked a few good ones. Anyone else read these by chance?

If you have any books you used and helped you what are they?

Where is that xml? that hack sounds great.

I started off with "PHP For the World Wide Web" by Larry Ullman

Barnes*&*Noble.com - Books: PHP for the World Wide Web (Visual QuickStart Guide Series), by Larry Ullman, Paperback, Covers Versions 4 and 5

It was pretty good. He explains everything with great detail. Good if you have never had any experience with PHP before
