I disagree with the suggestion that you need to or should have programming
experience to learn PHP, although it is helpful. There are a few books out
there (and books probably are the best starting point) that assume the
reader has no programming background, although you need to be familiar with
variables from scratch, following a (hopefully) finite mathematical
formula. Or you could manipulate data that already exists, turning this
data into some kind of variables.
Ultimately, you'll have to give a better of sense of the end result you'd
like.

I have a question about comparing the security risks for two methods of connecting to
a database with PHP. The DBMS is MySQL.
Option 1: Include the mysql_connect and mysql_select_db commands within the script
that manipulates the data from the database.
Option 2: Include the mysql_connect and
You should be able to use the comment tags, just put them inside the
script tags:
echo script language=\javascript\ type=\text/javascript\
!--
this.print()
//--
/script;
I don't believe you need a semi-colon after this.print within the
javascript script.

When you run this script, or one like it, does it work? You seem to be
missing a number of brackets. For example, you have:
while ($row = MYSQL_FETCH_ROW($result))
instead of
while ($row = MYSQL_FETCH_ROW($result)) {
or
while ($row = MYSQL_FETCH_ROW($result))

You could cast the type when you create the variable:
$variable = (integer) $variable;
Or you could set the type:
settype ($variable, integer);
However, the problem may be with the database, depending on what you mean

Use unset () to reset the variable values and $_POST to set the values. As
