Hey!  
I’ve learned javascript, actionscript, HTML, now its time to move onto PHP.  
I learn well by reading books and then expeirmenting with what i read. So, what book do you think i should get? I would like to learn how to make PHP scripts, and how to interact with a MYsql database. Also can PHP interact with XML? Flash can interact with PHP right?
