I realise that I am not going to convince those on the list who really do know their MySQL/PHP from their 'embonpoint' to get to gether for a book (apart from rudy). But all the, very useful, pieces of information, like Don's, really underlines my point.
'Kinda pricey' for example; and the suggestions are of many different offerings - all of which are very good, I am sure. But O'Reilly is said to be out of adate, and at the speed of php development, it very difficult to keep hard copy up to date. That is why I suggested something for web code that is very web oriented. That is a book, and a site for updating. Please tell me that, even thought I can't interest you, you think it an idea that could have mileage.....
