If you’re thinking of getting started with MySQL and PHP, here are some resources that I have found useful:

• Marc Liyanage: Activating the latest PHP module on OS X

• Marc Liyanage: Installing the latest version of MySQL Database Server on OS X

• Devshed: Beginning MySQL Tutorial

• Devshed: Setting Up Database Driven Websites

• PHPMyAdmin (makes working with MySQL much less of a headache)

• PHP Complete: A tutorial on installing and using PHPMyAdmin

If anyone knows of any other good resources aimed at beginners, please add them.
