Finally, an update

Due to some problems with my inital book order I was not able to get much done.

I reordered the book through Amazon today. Hopefully, it should come in by this Wednesday.

The book is PHP and MySQL for Dynamic Web Sites (ISBN: 0321336577) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321336577/

From my understanding this book will allow me to create dynamic websites as well as teach me how to access SQL databases through PHP scripts. I read a lot of praises coming from those that thought themselves PHP with this book. I’m sure that if I don’t like it I can try out PHP for the World Wide Web by the same author. It does not focus on MySQL as much.

During this ordeal, I have been reading the following websites in order to get an understanding of PHP:

My goal is to read the book and get a good understanding of the language and develop a website using PHP on the web. Then, I will start making assignments for myself with the materials learned put into consideration.
