Subject: Two questions... 
To: "Michael Moncur" <mgm@starlingtech.com> 

Michael,

First, how does one set-up a MyQSL database, are there php or Perl
commands that can actually create the tables (create) and start a new
database? Or does one need to use server-side tools to create the DB
and/or name the tables?

Second: Is there a way for me to "hide" a file so that a HTML/
JavaScript program on my site can read it but no one else can?

Hey, Michael, are you a Dad? If so, happy father's day! (I am my
daughter Elicia is 22 soon to be 23 & my son is 20.)

Phil,

Sorry for the delay in answering, I'm in the middle of moving
right now so things are a mess.

There's a command-line MySQL utility for that, but I don't think
you have access to it. The easiest way is to (a) log into the
admin console and click "Databases", then "Create", or (b) tell
me a name for the database and I'll create it. :)

No. (JavaScript always runs with exactly the same privileges as
everything else on the client, so if your script can read it, so
can anyone.) I need to look over the JS password article you
sent, you and Chris probably have some better ideas than me at
this point.

Not yet but possibly soon. (I procrastinate everything!) Happy
dad's day to you.

Thanks Michael, was wondering what was going on, thought you were
on vacation or something. I'll taking one first two weeks in
July, but I'll still be sending out resumes.

The article is almost all from Chris, I added & changed a few
things when I sent it to him, but my additions are not in the one
I sent to you, they were minor. I started it all by trying to
show how difficult it would be since JS can't hide anything
(that's what I had assumed) then he took the ball & ran with it
using some encryption, & made it much better.)
