I don't mean to sound flip, but the best reference will be the PHP documentation on the mysql functions: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

If you are looking for a tutorial on how to use PHP and general, with mysql in particular, instead of reference material. I would suggest searching Yahoo! for "php mysql tutorial" or something similar.

Cheers, Rick

Except for the part where one should never, ever, ever, ever, ever (x infinity) use those functions.

In fact, using them in this day and age is a sign of gross incompetence. There's simply no reason to do so, when given alternatives like mysqli, PEAR::DB, and ADODB.

As for the OP, I don't know any good books on MySQL and PHP. There are a billion out there, though.

Point taken. Probably for learning, you may as well start with mysqli (the "improved" api): http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysqli.php

Perhaps you should go and perform a search on PEAR and ADODB shortcomings. They're nice tools if you don't really know what you're doing (and don't care). And... uh... both of those libs use said functions...

No idea what version you are talking about, but 1.5.0b1 (2008-03-15) still uses them...
