anyone know a source for electronic books about mysql and php?
What level are you starting at? Beginner programmer?
Experienced application developer but new to web or database
coding? There are a lot of good resources for free on the web,
but it would help to know where you're coming from. Particularly
the answers to the following:
- do you have *any* programming experience? (shell scripting, a
rusty college Pascal class, or whatever)
- do you have any HTML experience?
- do you have any SQL/database experience?
- do you have an account/server you can use to deploy sample code
on? This can be as simple as a private home Linux box (which you
likely have since you're on this mailing list), but you'd have to
install Apache, PHP/mod_php, and MySQL if you haven't already.
If you want to go a step easier, you can install SQLite instead
of PHP which just uses a file to store your data, without the
need for a SQL serving daemon process running in the background.
SQLite doesn't scale as well to high traffic as MySQL or
PostgreSQL do, but for a learning experiment, it's a lot easier
to get set up and running.
With answers to such questions, it's easier to direct you to an
appropriate resource -- I wouldn't want to point you to something
like "enterprise scaling with PHP & MySQL" if you've never coded
before; just as I wouldn't want to direct you to "how to program
with PHP & MySQL for morons" if you've developed your own sites
and just need to translate those skills to PHP+MySQL.
Given that your .signature shows you to be a systems-engineer, I
suspect you're somewhere in the middle of that spectrum.
