Try PHP Essentials, which provides a good intro to the PHP + MySQL combo so common in the industry. Of course, MySQL has some weaknesses in the transaction area, so you might also consider PostgreSQL, which is slower but more capable (except for that 8k/row limit). For MySQL information, you can't top the New Riders MySQL book (no, not even the O'Reilly book is as good) and PostgreSQL has reasonably good docs on its website, including the "official" book in progress, to be published by Addison Wesley I think. -J =============================== John Goodleaf goodleaf@goodleaf.net PGP key: finger goodleaf@clyde.goodleaf.net =============================== On Wed, 12 Jul 2000, David Banning wrote: > > I want to create a web based system where > I can have an order database integrated into my web page > for searching items, looking up orders, etc.. > > I have a good book on some cgi scripts for creating screens and > entering info but I need something to manage the information, > a database, that would have to be integrated.
