mysqli_connect abstracted into include file help

[amedhussaini]

Can someone here past their include file they use to initialize their databases?  I'm having trouble abstracting all my connect statements.. as it stands right now, i do the whole:

 

$mysqli = mysqli_connect("......

etc everytime

 

Cheers,

ya here you go

 

<?php
$dbc=@mysql_connect("localhost", "usrename", "password") or die ("The Database server is unavailable.");
if (!@mysql_select_db("Database Name", $dbc)) {
die ("The database is unavailable.");
}
?>

anyone have a function that does similar?

why function it? create a file, named "sql.inc.php" or something. add that data to the file, then include it when needed.
