Where to find exercises

I am currently reading Beginning PHP and MySQL 5: From Novice to
Professional, Second Edition by W. Jason Gilmore. This is an
excellent book, but it has no exercises in it. I'm the kind of person
that has to learn by doing. I've searched all over for either a book
or website that would provide exercises to practice with and I haven't
come up with anything. Does anyone know of a website or a book that
covers this?

Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

Re: Where to find exercises

Heya, Tammy.

The MySQL manual has an excellent tutorial for getting up to speed:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/tutorial.html

For PHP, the way I learned was to pick a project and then learn how to
do anything I didn't know how (in my case, I started with an image
gallery).
