G'day Rocci,
I thought I'd throw in my own beginners version of a PHP/mySQL prog.
As you state that your a php beginner I thought that you may not be aware that php can be interspersed within html. Your example could have been written thus;
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>House Database</TITLE></HEAD> <BODY><H1 align=center>Listing of houses</H1> <HR> <!-- more content, i.e html that's "fixed" -->
<?php $user = "username_with_access_to_the_DB/Table"; $pass = "users_password"; // more php ... ?>
<HR>
<?php
printf("Some php variable from above equals:$result\n");
?></BODY></HTML>
I'm not claiming this to be any more "right" than the way you've written it but you might find this a very useful feature of php. (I've heard that there is a perl interpreter that allows perl to be "embedded" within html now too).
HTH
