I should clarify that I'm using a RedHat box at home which has apache
and php and mysql all installed on the same machine. I'm just using it
for learning purposes.

Just so I'm clear on this: Let's assume that I've registered
www.mydomain.com to a static IP which comes to my cable router at home,
and the router is configured to send incoming http requests on a
particular port to my RedHat box on my home network. If I fire up a
browser on any machine and point it to:

www.mydomain.com:my_port_number/bookexamples/example1.php

when the server gets the http request, isn't the server going to look in

/var/www/html

for a directory called /bookexamples and then look in that directory for
a file called example1.php to return to the requesting host?

Doesn't this mean that if I want to create a directory to hold the
phpMyAdmin files, the directory should be located within /var/www/html
also? Wouldn't this also be true if I wanted to install, say, PHP-Nuke?
