Hi,
You are making a huge confusion...
PHP is a server side scripting language that is used mostly for generate
dynamic html pages.
For example, let's say you have a file named test.php like this:
----------------------------
<?
$username="Me";
$password="mypass";
...
// slq queries here
...
echo "<html><body>This is a test<body></html>";
?>
----------------------------
If you upload this file to your server and browse to it you will get this
page:
---------------------
<html><body>This is a test</body></html>
---------------------
The variables $username and $password are not displayed...
Again, I recommend you to start reading on PHP and you will find it very
easy to understand.

I assume that you mean that they cannot access the scripts if the extension
of the file is .php3, but if I mix PHP within an HTML file, then all
security bets are off?

Hi again,
You are right, your username and password will have to be on every PHP
script that needs to use database.
However, you don't have to be afraid because nobody can access the source of
your PHP scripts - unless they are a good hacker!
I think you should pay a visit to http://www.php.net to understand how PHP
works. Start with the basics and you will see that is reallY VERY simple.
Be cool,
Jorge Oliveira

Thanks...this helped...Just had success in connecting to the MySQL server
and dumping the db contents to the screen....One worrisome bit though...My
username and password for connecting to the db on my host is my username and
password for the web account. If I want to create dynamic webpages by
pulling data from my db, won't I have to put this information (usersname and
pw) in the php file and leave it on the server? Sounds pretty darn scary to
me...maybe I am confused.

Assunto: Need help on mysql/php
I recently move my website to FastWebServers.com. MySQL and PHP is
provided. I have a control panel which allows me to initialize MySQL for my
use. The initialization creates a db, named celticblues_com (my domain is
celticblues.com). So far, I have added a table to my database, and added
the neccessary fields. Now I am at a total loss at what to do. I want to
use PHP scripts to pull info from the db and search the db etc. I have
contacted my support from FWS, but they point me to MySQL.com for "Mysql
commands technical support". Seems to me I would need to know how to set
username/password to access the db from script etc. The bottom line
question is can someone point me to information on what I need to do to be
able to access(open/close) the db, retrieve/store information, etc. in this
type of environment (i.e. MySQL provide by my host service, not installed by
me....)?
