NYCPHP Meetup

[Peter Lehrer]

If you are looking for a book you can start with "PHP & MySQL for Dummies".
In the book, the author builds a web site of the type you describe you need.
Also, it includes a pretty good introduction to MySQL and PHP. In addition,
it comes with copies of php, mysql and apache and the installation is pretty
easy, especially on windows. I installed it on Windows 95 and 98 and it was
a breeze.

Subject: [nycphp-talk] intro question


> Hello...
>
> I would like to know if PHP and/or MySQL is the answer to my design
> problem. I have been told so, but I am a beginner to both, and need a
> good intro tutorial also.
>
> Here it is: I am designing a website for a store, and want users to
> be able to search the merchandise by various criteria (price, style,
> manufacturer, etc). It's a fishing lure store, so the products will
> be similar - all will feature a photo and descriptive text.
>
> Are PHP and MySQL the solution? I use a Mac G4 running OSX. I'm a
> designer, I know HTML, basic Javascript, and understand programming
> concepts, generally. How can I get started?
>
> much thanks
