Hi
If this is verbatim code the connection string is inside the function and
the connection parameters are outside, so they will not be available to the
mysql_connect()
Try
function db_connect()
{
//Database Settings
$db_host = 'localhost'; //database hostname
$db_name = 'powerpla_powerplay'; //database name
$db_user = 'root'; //database USER name
$db_pass = 'rootpass'; // database password
if ($dbc = @mysql_connect($db_host,
$db_user, $db_pass)) {
if
(!mysql_select_db($db_name)) {
die('<p>Could not connect to the database because: <b>' . mysql_error() .
'</b></p>');
}
} else {
die('<p>Could not connect to the database because: <b>' . mysql_error() .
'</b></p>');
}
}
