database_connect.php help

[knox]

Hi Guys - I do not know very much about PHP and MySQL and I have seem to have a problem.

How am I supposed to create database_connect.php? What has to be inside of it? I'm very confused.

Thank you so much

Something like
[code]
$dbc = @ mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) or die ("Could not connect to mysql:" . mysql_error());
@ mysql_select_db(DB_NAME) or die ("Could not select the database" . mysql_error());
[/code]

where DB_HOST is usually localhost, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD are the username and password needed to connect, and DB_NAME is the name of your database.

HTH.
