hi just looking at this tutrial. [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...entication.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti...entication.htm) seems really well put together. just one uncertainty, when creating the mysql table. can this be created in texteditor or what ever. And what extension should it have? .sql or something else. One more question what level does it need to be in. i’m thinking the same folder as the other documents. chrs ---

Nope. The table needs to be in a mySQL database running on the server. ---

can you maybe explain to me a little more. my site is hosted on a server that can read run or what ever a mysql database. is it as simple as putting a folder or file in the ftp destination. or do I need to install some other aspect to server??? brndn ---
