Nan, you must realize this:

The string that reads "SELECT USERNAME from $TableName WHERE ..." is
in fact............. SQL!!!

SQL stands for Structured Query Language, and that's exactly what
you're using even though you claim not to.  You are using SQL
commands everytime you call a PHP function that starts with "mysql_"
(like mysql_query, mysql_num_rows, mysql_fetch_array, etc., all of
which YOU USED IN YOUR PHP CODE!)  So yes, you do use SQL for it.

HTH,
David Bindel
