656 Chapter 29 Building a Web-Based Email Service
You can set up the database for this application by running the SQL shown in
Listing 29.1.
Listing 29.1
create database mail;
use mail;
create_database.sql—SQL to Create the Mail Database
create table users
(
username char(16) not null primary key,
password char(40) not null,
address char(100) not null,
displayname char(100) not null
);
create table accounts
(
username char(16) not null,
server char(100) not null,
port int not null,
type char(4) not null,
remoteuser char(50) not null,
remotepassword char(50) not null,
accountid int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key
);
grant select, insert, update, delete
on mail.*
to mail@localhost identified by ‘password’;
Remember that you can execute this SQL by typing
mysql -u root -p < create_database.sql
You need to supply your root password.You also should change the password for the
mail user in create_database.sql and in db_fns.php before running it.
On the CD-ROM, we provided an SQL file called populate.sql. In this application,
we do not create a user registration or administration process.You can add one yourself if
you want to use this software on a larger scale, but if you want it for personal use, you
will just need to insert yourself into the database.The populate.sql script provides a
template for doing this, so you can insert your details into it and run it to set yourself up
as a user.
