Web Services in PHP/MySQL

Question

I am trying to learn to write web services involving PHP / MySQL . I would want to post some data from client to server and then store it into a MySQL database via a web service.

I'm very new to this area.

I tried googling but did not find any basic tutorials. All of them were fancy and hi fi involving SOAP etc.

Can someone give me a start by posing a code snippet / suggesting a decent URL / suggesting a good book to start with.

Thanks

For basic tutorials in several web-related languages, please start at W3Schools.com

There are several good websites to learn HTML from. For example, HTML Dog .

In basic terms, what you need to do it build a form in HTML that sends the data to a PHP script that then processes the information and stores it in a database.
