There is a number of fairly good tutorials about the APEX (Application Express, the artist formerly known as HTMLDB) and there is also a very good book by Michael Cunningham and Kent Crotty about HTMLDB (Rampant Press). There is also an Oracle Press book about HTMLDB, but I haven't yet laid my hands on it, so I don't know anything about it. APEX is a tool which helps you do easy things the easy way. I also figured out the way to link the latest version of PHP5 into the htlmdb web server and use the two technologies simultaneously. Unfortunately, there is no mixing them. I didn't yet find the way to access HTMLDB entities from PHP5.
