[wp-hackers] I'm interested in a good book

[Rick Maltese]

Thanks William and Josh

I read somewhere that Wordpress has it's own query functions like
get_results() get_row()

I'm still sorting out why I can't show an array from the $wpdb I tried
foreach but get an error

A good tutorial would be to be able to list all the tables in the database.
Anybody seen that?

Rick
