I have problems coding this script over to select my database with a pre-defined variable instead of using "show databases".

 

I can´t use "show databases" because my hosting service only provide me with one database, so there are restrictions on listing of mysql databases.

So i need to write this script to make the variable  $database_name to ALWAYS be (i do not need to select databse, cause i only have one database with my hosting service) "MY_DATABASE".

 

Could anyone help me to get this $database_name without using "show database" query.

 

 

<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ERROR  | E_PARSE);
//get form variables

//buttons
if(isset($_POST['btn_cont_x'])) $btn_continue = $_POST['btn_cont_x'];
if(isset($_POST['btn_back_x'])) $btn_back = $_POST['btn_back_x'];
if(isset($_POST['btn_connect_x'])) $btn_connect = $_POST['btn_connect_x'];
//input fields
if(isset($_POST['host_name'])) $host_name = $_POST['host_name'];
if(isset($_POST['user_name'])) $user_name = $_POST['user_name'];
if(isset($_POST['password'])) $password = $_POST['password'];
if(isset($_POST['database_name'])) $database_name = $_POST['database_name'];
if(isset($_POST['data_source'])) $data_source = $_POST['data_source'];
//vars
$is_form_valid = 1;
$page_errors = '';

//check which button was clicked
if(!empty($btn_continue)) //continue
{
if(empty($host_name))
{
	$page_errors = "* Please enter host name.";
	$is_form_valid = 0;
