function db_quote_smart($value)

{

  // Stripslashes

  if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

      $value = stripslashes($value);

  }

  // Quote if not integer

  if (!is_numeric($value)) {

      $value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string ($value) . "'";

  }

  return $value;

} // end of quote_smart

if ($this->conn) {

$this->close();

}

 

$this->conn = mysql_connect($this->host, $this->user, $this->pass, true);

return (FALSE);

}

 

} // end of open

{

return (mysql_insert_id($this->conn));

} // end of last_insert_id

 

 

function get_error()

{

return (mysql_error($this->conn));

} // end of get_error

 

 

function get_row()

{

[tina97]

hi, not sure if you still need help but take all the square brackets out of the MySQL code on config.php page,that should fix it  you might need to take brackets out of "MAIL_SERVER"  too

 

define("EI_DB_HOST",      "localhost");

  define("EI_DB_USER",      "xyz_ipn");

  define("EI_DB_PASS",      "xxxxxxx");

  define("EI_DB_NAME",      "xyz_ipn"); 

 

  //

  // In order to install more than one installation of ipn on the same database,

  // you can select different prefixes for the tables ipn creates.

  //

  define("TBL_PREFIX",      "eipn_");
