Just getting started using PHP to connect to MySQL databases...
One thing I'm kind of unclear about is what is the significant of "phpuser" and "phppass"? Are these just standard examples used in manuals and such - like "foo" and "bar"? Or is there generally a user set up in MySQL called "phpuser" with certain limited privileges so that one can interface with a MySQL db through a browser using PHP without causing security problems? It would seem to be dangerous to configure a PHP script to connect with my "administrator" username and password, right?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
