Hi team,

How can I implement a users in MySQL database for Apache users, assuming that I'm using RHEL6. That is to say, how can I design this database and how let's Apache server know those user in this database.

Thanks in advance..

You mean for a login page? ... or for HTTPD level access control?

The simplest way to do that it to put the configuration items (username, password, database name or connection string, etc.) into a configuration file and use the include, or requireonce directive to load the file in each of your PHP files that require it.
