Best PHP/SQL book(s)

[dlf]

Anyone know any very detailed books on PHP and SQL. That would really explain everything i'd probably need to know on like how to create functions, class, use for loops, if/else statements, case statements. Along with how to 'use' SQL in PHP (type) scrips (like PHP does to create the database . . .). Sorry if this has been asked, I just found this forum recently.

This is a good book on PHP in general, and is written by the guy who created PHP:http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progphp2/index.htmlThis is a book that focuses more on PHP and MySQL and how they work together:http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webdbapps2/index.htmlIf you don't know PHP at all yet, definately start with the first one. Look at oreilly.com for some other books, O'Reilly books are generally regarded to be high quality for this type of thing.

I enjoyed both these books and learned alot from them.For beginning php:PHP for the World Wide Web For working with php/mysql:PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web SitesThe author also runs a forum where you can go and ask him questions regarding the book or code your stuck on which is good.
