Does this look right

[prcollin]

<?php

 

$dbsettings = array(

'servername' => "localhost",

'username' => "pr******n",

'password' => "******7",

'dbname' => "pr******mers",

                                'tablename' => "sign_up");

 

function connect($server,$user,$pass,$dbname) {

  $dbconn = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error());

  $select = mysql_select_db($dbname, $dbconn) or die(mysql_error());

  return $dbconn;

 

}

Depends how your calling the function.

[prcollin]

No. server is undefined.

 

 

how do i define it?

[AndyB]

how do i define it?

Take a closer look at your array .... servername not server

[prcollin]

how do i define it?

Take a closer look at your array .... servername not server

 

so should i change the others to match also or are those alright

[benjaminbeazy]

it's ok. andy overlooked the fact that during the function definition, passed variables can be renamed whatever as long as they are referenced within the function by said name. he saw a mismatch between that and your servername variable in the array.

why do you create that large array if you arent going to use it? 

nothing looks wrong with the function itself, just make sure you implement the array!

Show us how you call this function.
