I would suggest checking into a book that has a few chapters on some of the basics; however, that also has a lot of the the advanced stuff. You will soon be wanting to know more as you progress and it is better to find a book that has both. New Rider publishing has a couple great PHP books out there now that are really good too. -- BigDog -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
