the MySQL one is how to use php with it, but expects you to know most of the php tutorial

Thanks a lot!

yes, tizag was helpful here as well

Thanks for the information I was going to ask the same question.

I used that site a lot and also w3schools. You'll also want to check the PHP manual and the mySQL manual.

PHP is easier to learn, but like MySQL, it's nothing to play around with as a hobby. Bad things happen if you don't secure your code -- hijackings is "nice" to having your site completely destroyed. So if you want to learn both, I really suggest that you take an online course that stresses more than just making "elegant" code, but grounds you in security. Online tutorials are no substitute for a thorough education of the "dos and don'ts".

A little php, a simple plugin, that isn't harden can literally wipe all your efforts overnight. Can't stress that enough.

There are a number of coding sites online that run self-help clinics. One site like that (with the most difficult programming language of them all -- C++) is http://www.gamedev.net. Yeah, it's aimed at the game industry, but that industry has to write secure code. It's a place to read on the "dos and don'ts", and get help from folks who's experience is more than just writing net code. Hang out there, and especially go through their recommended books section (and at least get yourself 2 books: current edition of a php security book; and a current edition of one on MySQL 4.1+ or better MySQL 5.x.x), to get yourself upto snuff on the correct way to approach coding. Learned more in one day at that site, than a week following tut links, despite it's market aim.

Thanks for the post.
