[TUT] Include mySQL into php.
#1
Make a settings.inc.php and put this in there:

(CHMOD should be: 755)
PHP Code:
<?
        $CONFIG
['DBHOST'] = "localhost"// Database servers location, normally localhost
        
$CONFIG['DBUSER'] = "username"// sql user
        
$CONFIG['DBPASS'] = "password"// db users password
        
$CONFIG['DBNAME'] = "database"// Database to connect to
?>

then make database.php

(CHMOD should be: 644)
PHP Code:
<?
        
include("settings.inc.php");
        
$connection mysql_connect($CONFIG['DBHOST'],
        
$CONFIG['DBUSER'],
        
$CONFIG['DBPASS']) or die("Could not establish a connection with mysql.");
        
mysql_select_db($CONFIG['DBNAME']) or die("Unable to select database.");
?>

Then in all your codes put:

PHP Code:
<? include("database.php"); ?>

You are done Big Grin

Hmm... Shorthand? Yuck.
Heres how I connect to my databases

Code:
<?php
class connection {
    private $database, $connect;
    function connect() {
        $this->database = array(
        'username' => 'USERNAME',
        'password' => 'PASSWORD',
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'name' => 'DATABASE NAME'
        );

        $this->connect = mysql_connect($this->database['host'], $this->database['username'], $this->database['password']);
        mysql_select_db($this->database['name'], $this->connect);
    }
}

$db = new connection();
$db->connect();
?>
