I've been making websites for 14 years and can edit a script like nobody's business. But I've never built one from the bottom up. I want to try learning and so I picked up a couple of teach yourself books but they are too advanced and a big part of each books deals with setting up a server, something I don't understand and don't need to understand because my host already has one.

I just want to learn the basics to start...basically I'd like to know how to create a simple database with categories and subcategories (I don't know the proper terms to use but for instance say I was doing a database of flowers and one flower category was rose, and another daffodil, then I also want there to be subcategories inside each like color, height, etc). And I want to know how to write the php/html that will pull the information out that I want.

Can anyone recommend a book or a website that has tutorials that can get me started? I know so much about editing the code that once I have this very basic start I should have no problem getting into the more complicated stuff. Right now I just don't understand how to set the database up.

Thanks.
