Database-Driven Web Sites with PHP and MySQL
Can anyone tell me of a good tutorial or article on building a database-driven web site with php and mysql? Can anyone explain what a database-driven web site does for a person? Thanks,

A database driven site can do quite a few things for you. If you have an E-commerce site where you are selling stuff, then it is invaluable since it stores stuff like products and orders. So a dynamic site both spits data out of the database and puts data into the database. A site like this one uses a database to store posts, users, etc. Then by calling templates it puts everything in the proper place. It is just a tool to help you manage data.

Yep, good links, Mark. In fact, that guy/genius, Kevin Yank, has even written a book which I own and recommend: http://sitepoint.com/books
