There is a lot of stuff out there -- these are very well documented 
programs and the community that uses and develops them is very 
helpful and conscientious about spreading "the word".

Hmmm...actually, the (official) mysql documentation has a tutorial 
that I think is very good:

http://www.mysql.com/doc/

and then go to number 9 -- "Tutorial" and go through it. You'll come 
out knowing the basics for sure. The documentation itself is 
exhaustive and searchable.

For PHP tutorials, I would say go to

http://php.resourceindex.com/Documentation/Examples_and_Tutorials/

and take your pick among the many on-line tutorials linked there 
based on your specific needs (or just work with several of the 
selections)

For alternative banner programs, in you need one, this same index has 
a links page for programs at

http://php.resourceindex.com/

Also phpbuilder.com is quite good for code snippets and scripts.

http://www.phpbuilder.com/

ps: By the way, if you do web design work, learning PHP and mysql is 
worth every moment spent and more!

Hope that helps.
