Help - How to structure PHP & MySQL files

[ukphp]

Hi,

I've built a form which captures user data and was wondering how best to structure it in my folders for security. I have a database-connection.php, functions.php, form.php files.

Im guessing it would go something like this?

var/www/config/database-connection.php
var/www/functions/functions.php
var/www/public_html/myWebsite/form.php

Files with passwords outside the web root is always a good idea; othre than that strucure is not a security issue.

Thanks. Another question, not really related but I didnt think it is worth creating another thread for. If I've got a form which an email will be sent in return saying "Thank you for completing the form, we will be in touch shortly" when the form has been submitted, is it possible to include images to my email? I'm wanting my email to include a header and footer image which I would like to style so I can align text etc, be it in a table or whatever. Can this be done and how? Basic email form below. $emailAddress is a variable which I've used in the form to capture the users email address.

<?php
$to = "$emailAddress";
$subject = "Thankyou for completing our form";
$message = "Thank you for completing the form, we will be in touch shortly";
$from = "[e-mail]";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>

the Manuel page for mail() has examples on how to send html email, or do your self a favour an use something like phpmailer or another PHP email class
