This book is oriented towards programming when you have access to server. Are there PHP/MySQL books specially suited to thos who bought a domain name and hosting service and now want to build their site using phpAdmin or cPanel or some such tool. Anyone who is in similar situation and is willing to help me take my baby steps in this direction until I am comfortable with it. I have just bought a domain name and it is I think a LAMP environment. But I do not know whether or not I have access to their "Command Line Interface". May be there is a tool like phpAdmin which allows me to execute a command. The hosting service is www dot totalchoicehosting dot com. They have sent me a welcome email and I have managed to download their "WebDisk" software and I have managed see copy an html to www folder of my site and it works fine.

To use this book I have to first run the MySQL SQL command on page 2 to create WROX_USER and WROX_PENDING tables. For now I can use phpAdmin interface of totalchoicehosting to create tables. But I want to know if it is possible to start mysql's command for running SQL commands or files containing SQL commands.

Thanks in advance.
