Welcome to PHPBuilder.com & to PHP!
There are great tutorials available online.
1) http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/
2) http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ & http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/
3) http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php-mysql-tutorial
4) http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/
5) http://codewalkers.com/tutorials.php
6) http://www.google.com/search?&q=php+mysql+tutorial
To get started you may want to set up a testing server on your computer. In order to accomplish that, you will need to download:
a) PHP: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
b) Apache: http://www.apache.org/
c) MySQL: http://www.mysql.com/
d) PhpMyAdmin (nice to have): http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php
You will learn more installing them yourself individually and coordinating them. If you would rather, there are packages that has everything you need to download a testing server, php, mysql all in one go such as:
i) http://www.wampserver.com/en/
I hope that helps.
Have fun..........

It is like WAMP but it also has Perl and a mailserver and an FTP client plus some other things that WAMP doesn't have like two version of PHP both 4 and 5 and you can switch between 5 and 4 depending on what you are doing.

One good source is an online book called Practical PHP Programming and it is pretty much up to dat including PHP 5. it is always online and takes you throughall aspects of using PHP and MySQL with plenty of ecplanations and examples.

glanced threw it...saved to my favs so when i get more time ill read it....but, when i glanced over it i didnt see anything to do with mysql or anything.
nevermind i see it now....lol, thank you.
Chapter 9 Databases Goes over the history of MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server and SQLite. Most of the other parts of theat section cover mostly MySQL. I do notice that you saw it, it does have quite a bit in it so just overlooking Chapter 9 without seeing what was contained there doesn't mean it isn't.
It covers just about all you would need to get a start with MySQL and PHP, including normalisation, MySQL Improved (MySQLI), and more. I like it because there are no torn or missing pages or coffee stains all over the pages like many of my books,some held together with masking tape.
