I'm new to PHP and MySQL. I've done a bit of web design but only basic
HTML. Many years ago I did do a bit of foxbase/DBase programming and
even some VB macros in excel. (probably no use now!)

I'm looking to develop simple websites that require user login, profile
creation/amendment, searches, online payment etc.

>From the trawling around I found PHP and MySQL to be the way most
people are going although I have heard ASP talked about a bit.

As I'm in a PHP group I'm guessing most people on here would suggest
PHP to ASP. What are the advantages/disadvantages??

As I'm very new, whats the best way to get started. Any suggestions to
any good books/tutorials etc.

Thanks

Mike Ferne
