I can't remember the name of the book that was suggested, it was at the bottom of the estore forum.

Any good book suggestions? I'm real slow lol so I basically need "PHP for Dummies".

Umm, try PHP and MySQL for Dummies

after that, php.net will have everything you need. It might already, depending on how slow you really are.

Probably something by Wrox(wrox.com) would be a good bet, too. Maybe try Beginning PHP4.

i think the best book for php 4 is
Professional PHP4 - By Wrox Publication

i found the book very effective and affordable.

I started off with php using this book...the mysql
db connectivity is quite well explained
