i have no idea what that means.
I started with the php login script from free2code.net. Other ones are available there too. It uses the PEAR:DB module for PHP so it skips some of the mysql specific stuff, but you can get the idea from there.
Thanks Adrian. The tutorial’s pretty helpful.
I bought a used MySQL book online. I haven’t used it much.
I don’t really know anything about PHP, short of editing a few files related to the various things hosted on my server.
When I’m looking for something like this, I usually go to Amazon, search for books on the topic, try to find ones that are well-reviewed (paying attention to the comments - often people will recommend alternatives) and then I try to find them in the library here. Alternately, you could go to a bookstore and actually flip through some books to see which will be most useful. Or you could probably go to a local university library.
I got nothin’.
I’m trying to hone my PHP/MySQL chops as well - I like the O’Reilly books a lot, but Randy gave me his copy of PHP and MySQL Development, and I love it. I’m only about 4 chapters in, but so far it’s been exceedingly clear. Being a non-coder, that’s a definite plus.
