so I have known php and sql for a while now, and I think its about time I get into the finer details. I know I can google for free and find some good info about database optimization and stuff but I would like a book. has anyone read any or know of any? thanks
PHP for dummies? There is a lot of knowledge that can be found on the internet just from a simple google search.
There is a large number of books covering both PHP and MySql so I would suggest a visit to Google Books to check them. Some are available online for free (in full) others give you an introduction so you can read how hard could be understand them. Direct link to the topic of your interest is this, http://books.google.com/books?q=php/mysql
