    PHP/AJAX book for beginners? or help ?

    I have started work on a new web site. the site intends to sells train tickets. It is a joomla site that uses a open-source PHP/AJAX extension called TRAVELbook. The TRAVELbook extension is not perfect for my needs and some modifications were needed. at this point i will say my programming skills are basic and i have not really used them since i did some c++ years ago.

    I have managed to make some adjustments to make travelbook work for my site. But there is one part of this component that i am lost with. When i look at the site it looks simple, i just need to change one part of the programmes output.

    The component works like this .

    stage 1, the customer chooses the train route and date. ( this has already been modified for my needs)
    stage 2, the customer chooses Additional services. (this is what i need to change)
    stage 3 4. do not need changing.
    stage 5 (shows total price)

    OK, so i need to change stage 2. At this stage of the booking, customers can order additional services. but these additional services are then multiplied by the number of travellers, i need this to be per booking. So all additional services are not multiplied per number of tickets but just charge per booking.

    I asked the guy who wrote travelbook and he told me what to do in
    this thread. but i am totally lost as to how to programme this in PHP/ AJAX.

    i thought it would be simpler.

    Can anyone recommend a good total beginners book for PHP/AJAX, (keeping in mind i know nothing about PHP, databases, AJAX or anything) ??

    or better yet, is anyone willing to look at the code and suggest what exactly i need to change in it? if anyone is able to help, for free or small amount. please post here or pm me.
