how to set anchor links in Drupal 4.7

I need to set anchor links from a list of links at the top of the page to content farther down. How do I do this?

Also, I have text links in the content that need to link to another page within the site. but I do not want the other page to show on any of the menus (the links are on a calender which will link to a more info page for each entry). How do I create the more info page and not have it as part of the navigation?

MySQL: bad characters '�' in data

We are seeing some unreadable special characters sprinkled in the body area in body_revisions table. It comes up as a question mark in the page, and looks like this in the data: �

It's only in about 30 pages (of many hundred), but was trying to get to the root of it. I have been doing some data export/imports direct via phpMyAdmin as we relaunch our site. Maybe some sort of packet error/corruption during the upload?

Menus and Categories

I am having trouble conceptualizing how the following would work in Drupal:

Let's see I have a series of static pages assigned with a given taxonomy label ("FAQs," for example).

I would like users to be able to quickly navigate to all designated as category "FAQ."

How would I go about creating a menu item for this? Menu items require the listing of a specific node; in this case, I want a number of items to be returned.

Thanks.

spam users?

So my site has been live for a week, and I've noticed a large number of spambots attempting to create user accounts. None of them have gotten past the creation stage (all have the last login set as "never"), and so it's not a problem in terms of actually cluttering up my site, but I was wondering if there's a way of stopping it from happening in the first place.

Comments and all that are set for authenticated users only, by the way, so they're not posting anonymously.

How do I include a PHP library in Drupal?

Hi,

What I want to do is include somephplibrary.php, and have the functions within, be usable on any page of my drupal site. I thought that simply using <?php include "..../somephplibrary.php"; ?> should do the trick, but it doesn't work. (yes I have the input formats set to accept php code)

So to keep it simple:

1. Where to I place PHP libraries in the Drupal file structure in order for them to work?

2. What files (such as common.inc) would I need to modify to tell drupal to include my PHP library?

Neither users nor Admin (me) is able to leave comments.

Leaving comments was possible in the past, indeed some of the articles (well one) on my site have comments on them. Currently it is not working. I've tried:
Enabling all the check boxes under Admin-Access Control (even for anon users).
Turning off all other modules.
Turning off Comments and restarting it.
Changing the comments box from being it's own page to being situated under the story itself.
Disabling and re-enabling Clean Urls
