PHP and mySQL

[Steveo3]

Hey all. I am SUPER NOOB in PHP and mySQL. I do, however, know quite a bit of Flash MX actionscript, so I know what functions are and whatnot.

Could you guys point me to a place where mySQL is described, and making a simple...uh.... whatever mySQL makes?

I changed my mind on what I want to do in my page from basic PHP to a more advanced standpoint. Forums, I know, are a lot of work and are not feasible unless you know a lot of PHP right?

Thanks.

Steve

If you just want forums, why not use something pre-written like phpBB (http://www.phpbb.org) or Invision (http://www.invisionboard.com/) (both free)? :confused:
