RE: [PHP] Database-Driven Web Site.

Hi Sean,

I'd suggest looking at some of the PHP and database tutorials available, for
the database you most likely would be interested in learning about MySQL, at
least at first. There are a lot of good resources on the PHP website at
http://www.php.net and good MySQL documentation available at
http://www.mysql.com.  

If you look at the PHP mailing list you will find there is a lot of
discussion about PHP books. I'd also suggest looking on amazon.com and
reading the reviews of books for PHP and MySQL, one of my favorites was "PHP
and MySQL Web Development" but there are a lot of other excellent books
available as well.

Some good resources for finding already existing scripts is
www.hotscripts.com, www.zend.com, http://php.resourceindex.com by looking at
existing code you can get a feel for how you might do something.

Before you set out to create a database driven website you need to decide
what you want your website to do, does it really need to be database driven?
It is not that hard to create such a website but why introduce overhead that
you really don't need.

Jason

Well, there are places that teach classes on this subject.  There are 
also books devoted especially to this subject.  O'Reilly is coming out 
with one, there's one advertised at sitepoint.com, and there are more 
(like Visual QuickPro PHP Advanced by Larry Ullman or PHP and MySQL 
Database Applications by Bulger and Greenspan).

It's a big topic, you're best off reading one of these books and then 
asking here for help on specific questions.
