Questions For Future Quest (MySQL & PHP)

Here are a few questions that I have for the PHP crew at FQ.[nbsp][nbsp] What I am trying to do now is get the database to be seen but not edited by our visitors.[nbsp][nbsp]The fine tuning is going to be an ongoing process and I don't think I can promise a "finished" procuct[nbsp][nbsp]but rather a work in progress.

PHP Questions

1.[nbsp][nbsp]Where does Future Quest require PHP files to be stored.[nbsp][nbsp]Developing offline I am using a Win98 platform running MySQL for Windows with PWS and PHP4.[nbsp][nbsp]Windows documentation requires that PHP files be stored in the directory that houses the php dll files.[nbsp][nbsp]Is this the same protocol used at FQ?

2.[nbsp][nbsp]I am currently using a .php extension.[nbsp][nbsp] I have noticed on some of the test files that an extension of .php4 is used.[nbsp][nbsp]Can I continue to use the .php files or should they be .php4.

3.[nbsp][nbsp]Can you recommend a good php form script?[nbsp][nbsp]We want to convert our an html form to include php coding so that we can interface with MySQL

1)[nbsp][nbsp]Anywhere within your /www/ directory or a sub-directory within will work fine.

2)[nbsp][nbsp].php is more than fine and actually advised as the versions may change but those first three letters should stay the same :)

3) You may find http://php.resourceindex.com/ helpful in locating some PHP scripts... if you search the forums you'll find quite a few other resource links as well.
