<h3>Books</h3>
<p>Some of the best help books I&#8217;ve found are written by, Larry Ullman. Here is one of his best.</p>
<p>[asa personal_post]0321336577[/asa]</p>
<p>This was my first PHP book. It&#8217;s not the greatest book out there, but if you want full application examples this is the book for you.</p>
<p>[asa personal_post]0764579665[/asa]</p>
<p>This next book isn&#8217;t a PHP book, but it is a great resource for learning <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysql" target="_blank" title="Wikipedia.org link for MySQL">MySQL</a>. MySQL is free database component that works great with PHP.</p>
<p>[asa personal_post]0672327120[/asa]</p>
<h3>Website Links</h3>
<p>PHP <strong>cookies</strong> were something I didn&#8217;t learn from a book. Here are a few links that really helped me develop those skills. <a href="http://www.go4expert.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219" title="PHP and cookies tutorial" target="_blank">PHP and cookies</a>. <a href="http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php" title="An amazing resource for everything PHP" target="_blank">PHP.net documentation</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.webdesignforums.net/archive/index.php/t-21029.html" title="Great forum resource for PHP" target="_blank">Here is a great <strong>forum</strong></a>, not just for PHP, with lots of questions answered about PHP.</p>
<p>I wanted to learn about <strong>REGEXP</strong> in PHP, mostly for security verification. Here are two links that helped pave the way. <a href="http://www.jellyandcustard.com/2006/06/13/regular-expressions-in-php/" title="There are basic concepts and examples for REGEXP in PHP" target="_blank">The basics</a>. <a href="http://www.roscripts.com/PHP_regular_expressions_examples-136.html" title="Using custom functions to integrate REGEXP in PHP" target="_blank">More advanced methods</a>.</p>
<p>Just a great website with lots of PHP <a href="http://www.goodphptutorials.com/" title="A really good tutorial website" target="_blank">centered <strong>tutorials</strong></a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.php.net" title="You need to use this as a resource and for learning." target="_blank">PHP.net</a>. Just use it!</p>
<h3>Random Resources</h3>
<p>Just some <a href="http://www.reinholdweber.com/?p=3" title="Optimize and prioritize your PHP" target="_blank">good ideas to implement</a>.</p>
<p>Sometimes there are <a href="http://www.digital-web.com/" title="Try searching here for PHP" target="_blank">good articles at Digital-Web.com</a> about PHP.</p>
<p>You should at least <a href="http://passwordrobot.com/blog/5-htaccess-tricks-every-webmaster-should-know/" title="You never know when you might need to use this" target="_blank">check out</a> .htaccess.</p>
