Can someone please point me in the direction to get a book or tutorial to get started with PHP. i mean like where to post the stuff where to write it how to write. Pretty much PHP for dummies.

I used this book:

http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Dyna...e=UTF8&s=books

It's a great book, especially since it includes MySQL.

Another good one:
http://www.amazon.com/PHP-MySQL-Deve.../dp/0672317842
