Book advice (PHP & MySQL)

[paruhd0x]

I'm am pretty novice at PHP but I do have Core PHP Programming book so I have a good reference to learn from. But what I really want to do is learn how to interact with MySQL databases with PHP. Just curious if anyone here has good experience with a MySQL/PHP book that they would like to recommend to me. So I don't end up blindly buying a book that isn't very helpful.

Appreciate any suggestions. 🙂

The O'Reilly MySQL and PHP books are good. The MySQL Cookbook is a good read.

Maybe PHP and MYSQL Web Development by Welling and Thomson. Evidently there's a second edition, but I've only looked at the first.

Agreed.

I found a brand new 2nd edition on half.com for $32 shipped, great book.
