    PHP/MySQL book

    I've dabbled a little in PHP and MySQL, but now I'd like to buy a book.
    I've pretty much decided on "PHP and MySQL Web Development" by Thomson
    and Welling, and it seems sensible to buy the latest (3rd) edition.

    But I see that the 3rd edition covers PHP5 and MySQL5. The server I
    would be writing for is running version 4 of both. Would it be a bad
    move to buy the 3rd edition of the book, or would I not have any
    problems learning to write for PHP 4 and MySQL 4 from it?

      Hi, are you restricted to using PHP 4? If not, then I would recommend
      upgrading to PHP 5 if you plan to use the book. Lastly, you should be
      OK with MySQL 4 in regards to this book.

      Good luck,

      -Conrad

          Well, my hosting provider is running PHP 4 and I can't see them
          upgrading any time soon. But I've asked them what their plans are. Are
          many sites running PHP 5 yet?
