Over on CodeWalkers.com today, they have a new review and chapter selections from one of Wrox's newer PHP books - Beginning PHP4 Databases.

This book aims to teach the skills necessary to develop any size web application with PHP, backed by a database. They start off with the now de facto PHP introduction and then jump head first into database fundamentals. Nearly half of this book is devoted to teaching database layout, design, and use. This is long over due in the PHP community. Too many PHP developers are creating database enabled applications that have absolutely no prior experience with databases! This book covers everything from elementary topics, such as table creation, selects, inserts, and deletes, to advanced database usage with joins, stored procedures, triggers, and cursors.

It looks like a good "starter book" for those wanting to get into database applications with their PHP, as well as a good reference for those more experience on "best practices" of database structure.

To see if it's right for you, check out the sample chapter.
