When aiming for getting a job, is there a point in learning PHP and not learning a MySQL or something? If not, can I learn just the basics of databases and consult some dox when needed?

Here's the scoop on enterprise-level databases: your fucked.
>>1 'basics of the database' would help as much as reading SICP.

I can understand how they wouldn't let in those wild jungle apes, but what about those really smart ones who live among us who roller-skate and smoke cigars?

The question of whether one has to learn something doesn't really register with us. If you see learning as a chore, you'll never be much of a programmer.

I don't want to be a programmer. I want to be a hacker.
Programmers get paid in money. Hackers are paid in cardiovascular degeneration

So get a fucking puzzle and gtfo. You cannot solve any puzzle without knowledge. If you are just too lazy to get some knowledge, you'll become the asshole of the information technology.

You can solve a lot of puzzles without knowledge, for instance jigsaws.
However, I think there is some kind of misunderstanding because I firmly believe in learning things for no other reason except learning.
I <3 textbooks.

this is /prog/.
either get used to off-topic discussion or go to /pr/ with your questions

You can't be serious with this thread?
PHP is so easy that most monkeys can learn it and the common way that PHP programmers use databases is simple (although not always right), so just get a quick SQL book and get used to it. Why ask /prog/ about trivial boring questions?
The OT discussion was more entertaining than the original question.
here's your answer, OP:
there is no way in hell you could get a job doing php without understanding at least a little SQL. php and databases are so tightly bound together that most, if not all php books also teach SQL.
