How hard is it to learn how to build a PHP and MySQL webdatabse...
right now I am reading...
PHP in 24 Hours, and MySQL in 24 Hours...
now really.. has anyone out there, self taught themselfs how to build a database with PHP and MySQL. When I say self taught I mean by books.. no teacher. Thanks for anyone who can help me...
p.s if you have self taught yourself... how did you learn, what did you read.. ect?
I taught myself PHP, using PHP for the World Wide Web, PHP Advanced for the World Wide Web, and http://www.php.net I learned MySQL with MySQL for the World Wide Web, but had a friend who showed me how to use phpMyAdmin, which made the process 100% easier... Find someone who knows PHP, SQL, and phpMyAdmin, and have them help you get the basics down.

I learned PHP from 'A beginers guide to PHP4' and 'Advanced PHP', and php.net. I just kinda picked up MySQL.

well i havent built a database myself, but it doesnt look that complicated (of course, depending on what youre wanting to do)...not too long ago, someone here referred me to this site:
http://www.mysql.com/articles/ddws/
it helped at least get the concept of databases down, after that its basically just using PHP's functions to manipulate the database how you want it...

I have several databases running now at evernet.co.uk, and it is very easy to build a database using simple PHP and SQL commands.

I learnt and used PHP + MySQL in less then 24 hours and built a database enabled guest book..just for the proof of concept that I can use it.
I used PHP manual on their site and MySQL manual on their site..
phpmyadmin is a good tool,if you like it,however I like to use mysql from command prompt.I like the control...:-)
