I'm currently considering the following O'Reilly titles: Managing & Using MySQL, 2nd Edition Programming PHP My ultimate goal is to produce a web-based DNS Management tool with an SQL back end. I have a lot of perl CGI experience, but since we've standardized on php, I thought I should learn it. I see a lot of heat around the postgresql vs. mysql debate, but not a lot of light; so I'm thinking mysql is the way to go. If anyone has feedback on these two books, or think I should seriously consider other titles, feel free to respond to the list or to me personally. Thanks! Doug PS, bookpool.com is currently offering 43% off on O'Reilly titles. I've had good experiences with them as a customer in the past, no other connection.
