Looking for a book or website recommendation concerning radiosity rendering. I need something that a beginner can digest but is detailed enough that the reader could then actually implement something.

E.g. Is it more secure to use mod_php instead of php-cgi? Or is it more secure to use mod_perl instead of traditional cgi-scripts?

When I try to update a subset of fileds, find some fileds that are not used in the form are set to the default value .

I think this is a pretty common problem.
I've got a table user(id INT ...) and a table photo(id BIGINT, owner INT) . owner is a reference on user(id) .
I'd like to add a constraint to the table photo that would prevent more than let's say 10 photos...

It's easier than the other way around, going from beautiful code to working code .
Once you get your code working, you can make it pretty .
