//Mysql information
define(HOST,"enter hostname");

//Connect to database
$con = mysql_connect(HOST,USER,PASS);
mysql_select_db(DATABASE);
//Include forum_post.html

include($dir);
//Sql statement used to find a topic based on an id number
$sql = "SELECT * FROM database WHERE $id = topic";
//Execute query
$query = mysql_query($sql);
//Check for a successful query ELSE return error message
if($query){
//Loop through database if successful query
while($row = mysql_query($sql)){
$title = $row->title;
