Hello.

I'm more of a SU and SF but now I'm after some help from the SO community.

I'm dabbling in a bit of php coding with databases and am getting a bit stuck with relationships and the like. Can anybody reccomend some books, online or real, that would be a good start for someone new(ish) to php and mysql databases?

Cheers!

The PHP Manual is an excellent resource. The online version is searchable and has a lot of user contributions as well.

looks useful, thanks. I'd mark this as an answer but I need 15 rep...too bad I can't "borrow" it from other sites.

If you already have programming experience I would recommend the Zend PHP Certification Study Guide which will give you a quick intro.
