"Hello World" for php & mysql (or postgres)

Everyone probably started with the infamous print "hello world" as
their 1st program. I am looking for a site online that basically does
the same for php & database communication. A site that walks you
through the basic fundementals on how to setup and access a simple
database so I can experiment and get a feel for it before diving in
deep. Is there anyplace like this out there?

I am a real novice to php and MySQL, with about a week's worth of reading and self tutoring. I have an urgent need to publish a database of information and need some guidance on how to do this. This question might be more suited to a MySQL newsgroup, but since php and MySQL seem to have become almost married to one another, and since getting the data out and displaying it is where my problem seems to lie, I thought I would start with...

Here's one for some bored problem solver :) I ran across this earlier today and fixed it, but don't exactly know why. (that usually only happens in C :) I'm using Perl version 5.8.0 btw. Ok, let's start here: I end up with an array that comes from a fetchrow_array() call to MySQL. I return the array to a function.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
