Well, http://www.php.net/links.php3 contains some links to websites
dedicated to php.

Btw I noticed "Getting & Using Databases at SourceForge" (
http://sfdocs.sourceforge.net/sfdocs/display_topic.php?topicid=11 ) on
the Sourceforge Documents ( http://sfdocs.sourceforge.net/sfdocs/ )
website.

Starting with a php news page, you could have a look at
http://freshmeat.net/search.php3?query=php+news and check some things
out, or we can write something ourselves (but if you're unfamiliar with
php & mysql, you probably can better have a look at some others work
first). If you need any help with the mysql & php stuff, let me know and
I'l see what I can do.
