http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ official reference tutorials are the best on-line, and sometimes better than the useless book

i agree with k22.http://dev.mysql.com/ instead of .com i think, not sure.hint: for php.net: go to documentation and browse through the functions until you find the subject you are looking for (for example: string functions to manipulate text)then read it, and don't forget to check the user comment! sometimes, you'll find great examples there!when you want to test it on your own computer, and you're not into installing mysql, apache and php seperatly (i'm talking about a windows os here), you should try winlamp (winlamp.sf.net i think)it installs all 3 of them + some extra programs for database managing.( mysql front is really good: you can edit your db, add tables, put data into the tables,...)i used it in the beginning. they are very up to date! newest versions of php, apache & mysql!!!off course, you have more config options when you do it all seperate.i'd really advise you to install a server onto your own computer. it's much easier to test than to upload your files every time again.if you want to learn php from scratch, try to find 'php in 24 hours' by o'reilley or something like that. you can find it in a pdf file on emule, or you could go to the bookstore, hehe.talking about emule: if i need a tutorial, i type it into emule, search for pdf files and there you go!

http://dev.mysql.com/ instead of .com i think, not sure.

I didn't know that both are ok http://www.mysql.com/ and http://dev.mysql.com/, everytime I learn something new
