[cobalt-users] Help Needed: High Level Overview of PHP and MySQL on Raq4i

[Rusty Wilson <rustyw007@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I searched through the archives, but was not able to
find an answer to the question I have. Any input would
be greatly appreciated.

QUESTION:
What is the procedure/process for allowing users of a
RaQ 4i to create php apps that use MySQL? 

I am NOT looking for step by step instructions, but I
am somewhat confused as to how it all "fits together".

BACKGROUND:
I understand PHP and MySQL, and I have used them to
build apps, *BUT* I have always had administrative
access to the box I was running PHP and MySQL on.

The confusion I have is how to extend this
functionality to clients I host on some of my Raq 4i
servers? Since they dont have admin (or even shell
access), how do they create the mysql database that
their php app will supposedly use?

Any one already doing this for their clients, and have
a general process they are willing to share with me?

Thanks in advance!
Rusty
