PHP Installer

[orangeparrot]

Hi Guys,

 

I was wondering would somebody be able to help me?

I want to make an installer where people can put in the mysql details,

and it will also add some tables to the database.

The config file is called data.php

 

<?php

$hostname_conn_abrv = "localhost";   ////database hostname, usually always localhost
$database_conn_abrv = "database"; ////database name
$username_conn_abrv = "username"; /// database username
$password_conn_abrv = "password"; //// database 
$conn_abrv = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn_abrv, $username_conn_abrv, $password_conn_abrv) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 

?>

 

Any help would be great! Thanks alot.

I don't understand what you're after.  ??? ???

Well I have a system, but to connect it to a database you need to change the values in data.php manually.

I would like to make a  script to do this for you, and also add tables to the database.

Thanks

Well think about it. You need a form, should be easy. You submit the form, do some error checking then use different PHP file functions to open, write, close the config file.

 

Look at functions like:

fopen()

fwrite()

fclose()

 

Good luck.
