Unfortunately PHP & MySQL is absolutely massive, so there's not really a quick tutorial you can read to learn it in a day. I suppose you could check W3 Schools or Tizag for PHP codes and snippets, alternatively if you're serious about learning it full time I'd suggest buying a Book, something like this or even this.

Alternatively, you could download some basic PHP scripts such as Contact Forms or basic Input / output systems and have a read through the script, see if you can pick out what does what etc...

I'm going to get some books and learn from them, I would like to gain an extencive knolage of PHP & MySQL to add to the other programing languages I know -razz-

Thanls for your advice MHW -8)-

I'll post some basic tutorials for certain tasks - all while adapting massive security techniques that I use. Will post in an hour or so on contact form.

This is a difficult thing to learn. Try w3schools.org they are pretty good with php idk about mysql though

My first thought was W3Schools, but they arn't for someone looking to dive too deep. I suggest find a book at a local library, buying one online, or as Murder said getting a few bits of code and using some common sense. I have never seen any type of coding that couldn't be broken down into some sort of basic level that is 'easy' to understand. That would be my first try ~smile~

I did post a tutorial for a SIMPLE PHP Contact Form you can checkout and use to help understand and get a hang of all this.

Of course, no one suggests go to PHP.net -lol-
Just about the best place to go since it's the official website and has documentation on just about every single function and class that exists in PHP, and most have multiple examples.

Remember that not all tutorials are good tutorials, I saw one on the Digg.com main page a while back that was a basic example of a CMS-but it had multiple XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities, and then the people that read the tutorial and used it's code are now vulnerable and probably writing vulnerable code.

Zend has a lot of good PHP related resources and tutorials as well.

As for MySQL, of course, the official documentation is great -😉-

As other people said, W3schools is a great place to get you started 🙂 I like how they tutorials teach as its very understandable.
