Hi, I have ahd a slight problem with the deprecation of mysql_*() functions, and so are swapping them for mysqli_*() functions, how I have come across an error which states that $connect is undefined.

 

<?php

$GLOBALS["host"] = "localhost";
$GLOBALS["user"] = "web113-social-1";
$GLOBALS["pass"] = "********";
$GLOBALS["database"] = "***************";

$connect = mysqli_connect($GLOBALS["host"], $GLOBALS["user"], $GLOBALS["pass"], $GLOBALS["database"]);
?>

 

I have compared this against php.net's examples, and this code looks almost exact. I dont know what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.

Why are you putting sensitive information into the globals array? Use constants.

 

The code you've posted would not produce an error about an undefined variable. You're also not checking for errors.

Okay, so I looked back at php.net to see what error checking they use...

 

<?php

$connect = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

if(!$connect){
die('Connect Error (' . mysqli_connect_errno() . ') '. mysqli_connect_error());
}

echo 'Success... ' . mysqli_get_host_info($connect) . "\n";
?>

 

Guess what... Still getting an Undefined $connect error... dispite manually typing in the connection settings.
