Pear Installation and Database

[dkoolgeek]

I am creating a website for a school project.

When I attepmt to run the following code, I get an error.
I think it may have something to do with pear but I am not sure.

<?php

require_once 'DB.php';


$db_engine = 'mysql';
$db_user = 'username';
$db_pass = 'password';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'database';

$datasource = $db_engine.'://'.
  $db_user.':'.
  $db_pass.'@'.
  $db_host.'/'.
    $db_name;


$db_object = DB::connect($datasource, TRUE);

/* assign database object in $db_object,

if the connection fails $db_object will contain

the error message. */

// If $db_object contains an error:

// error and exit.

if(DB::isError($db_object)) {
die($db_object->getMessage());
}

$db_object->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);

// we write this later on, ignore for now.

include('check_login.php');

?>

What is the error code? And also instead of DB you should use MDB2. it's like an newer version of DB and it's recommended. If the error is something about DB:Error then you should check the validity of your connection string. Try echoing it and look if anything is wrong
