This sounds like a very good use statement for http://www.phpmyadmin.net/<http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/> You can set it for http auth in the config ... they enter a mysql username and password and they only see the databases and tables you want them to see Might be easier than reinventing the wheel and stressing all of us :)
