I currently have a *very* limited income and I'm looking for a PHP/MySQL
book that'll give me the most bang for a buck. I checked "PHP and MySQL
Web Development" by Welling & Thomson out of the library and it looks
like a great book for me: an old client-server database programmer with
some experience in ASP and Cold Fusion, too. Lots of examples,
explanations, and especially, sample apps.

Before I spend $29 on a used copy of the Third Edition at Amazon, can
anyone recommend a book that might be better suited to me or confirm
that this is a good book to use?

I'm using PHP 4.3.9 and MySQL 4.0.15 on Windows XP.

TIA

Neill
