Putting HTML in a form on a PHP page to submit to a mySQL db

[Cleo]

What is a good book to buy for the MySQL challenged? I've bought a few books on php that talked about MySQL but that is about it.

Mostly I want to better understand writing queries when I'm in PhpMyAdmin doing search and replace, deletes, etc.

Something for a user not someone writing code.

I bought "Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL" by O'Reilly. The book I have is written for PHP 4.06 and MySQL 3.23.38. I'm sure that there would be an updated version of the book by now.

I bought it at Barnes & Noble for 45.00. I would suggest checking out one of the local book stores so you can thumb through pages and see if the book has what your looking for.

In this book the example website is a wine store. Really nice examples on how to use MySQL calls.

Actually phpmyadmin can be a great help, least has been for me. Being that it shows the queries it runs. Has helped me out on more than a few occasions to figure things out.

I also get a ton of help on the forums, sitepoint is an excellent resource. I always get a answer and usually quite quickly.
