good PHP book for postgresql frontend

hello world,

i'm working on a small PHP/postgresql pilot project on linux. the
postgresql part is not (yet :) a problem, but PHP is sometimes a bit
puzzling. i guess that's because i'm used to straightforward 3gl
programming, not to scripting languages that create HTML.

so, i want to buy a book the make myzelf more familiar with PHP. it
should not e a beginners tutorial, but thorough. and preferrably with a
database part not focusing on mysql but on postgresql.

can anybody recommend a good book? TIA!

In a few days my second book will be published. It is called

"PHP and PostgreSQL Advanced Web Programming" and I guess this is what
you might be looking for.

You can buy it at Amazon.

I used PHP and MySQL Web Development (Welling/Thomson). In my
opinion, it's ok, that the book is written for MySQL as the name of
the functions differ, however, the results you may get in connection=20
with php are mostly the same.=20

Furthermore I use Quanta as Editor for the Scripts; you can
integrate the php-documentation in the programm. The highlightning
is alright (sometimes problems, if you are using single quotes).=20

forward to it. there were some problems as we are not located in an
Amazon country (.de, .uk, .us) and we don't have a company credit card.
