need help creating bridge.php

[jacalyn]

I'm using osCommerce Manager and they've created a work-around for people who cannot connect to their MySQL database due to servers not allowing you to set permissions. However, I need to create a bridge.php file with $username and $password to add to my directory in order to access my database through this program and have no clue how to do this. Help??

[redarrow]

use a include("bridge.php"); on the pages that need the database connection.


bridge.php
[code]
<?php
$db=("localhost","username","password");
mysql_select_db("databasename",$db);
?>
[/code]


I think that what you want if not sorry.

Thanks, but I don't think that's going to work...

Here's the message I get in the program I'm using:

In order to use this you have to put bridge.php file into your store "catalog" directory.

Login and password specified here must be the same as $username and $password in "bridge.php"

Example: 

Location of bridge:  http://www.mystore.com/bridge.php
Login: 1
Password: 1
