Help! with mod_auth from apache integrating with mysql

I have a databse on mysql server that authenticates users... However mod_auth did not have access to the database containing the user info. How can I set up my database with adequate permissions to allow mod_auth to access that database without leaving the database wide open... /Thanks Tim

Inserting images and other blobs

Any suggestions on how to load images from a web site into a MySQL db? I would like to set up a page that allows you to select an image from the local machine and load it to my MySQL DB on my web server. I'm not sure if it would just be a regular insert statement or something else? Thanks..
