newbie looking for good tutorial

If anyone has a suggestion for tutorials on php-mysql web site design,
please let me know.

I will be designing an intranet business app, laboratory information system
to be more precise, and am still deciding what to use for the front end to
the mysql db. Also one of the objectives is secure web access for customers.
I designed the current app which is an MS access multiuser db. It works fine
but is starting to show its limits and for version 2 I want to come out from
the dark side, heh.

TIA.

Jim

sent that in html, my apologies.

If you already have a working Access solution, why don't you just put
the data on a MySQL server and use MyODBC to allow Access to access the
data?

That was my original plan. There's a few reasons I am looking for another
path. One the front-end is not well optimized for mySQL. Two I used spaces
in many of the field names, and there are a lot of forms that need to be
fixed, and new functionality to add anyways. Three, I have to build the
webpage for external access anyways. I haven't made a final decision, I am
also looking at using VB. Access is not the best solution due to some
compatibility issues as well.

Anyone have thoughts on its stability?

To be honest, our workshop would be a good place to start
(www.carsonworkshops.com). We're going over everything you should know
before starting out on a professional level database-driven site -
focusing on LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP).

Each attendee receives:
1) A full day's instruction from professional PHP/MySQL experts
2) The Web Developer's Survival Kit (including full notes, book and CD
with code)
3) 40% off Zend PHP Certification
4) 15% off hosting with Media Temple - for life!
5) A chance to win a free copy of Zend Studio (worth $249)
6) A chance to win your own PHP Performance Server (worth $1700)

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I won't be able to make that trip.
I do this programming to support my real job running the laboratory and
Quality Control Dept. I've been writing custom db apps for small business
since the early 90's.

Besides, seems there is plenty of good info on the net, I just thought I
would ask here for some additional leads.

No problem. Good luck with that! :)
