Hi,
This is a small example to connect the Database.
<?
function dedb_connect()
{
$link = mysql_pconnect("localhost","login","pass");
if ($link && mysql_select_db("DBname"))
return($link);
return(FALSE);
}
?>
and save as "dedb.inc"
And Then, in your php. file Before you start any statement or query. put
this on first.
<?
include ("dedb.inc")
..........
..........your other query........
?>
OK...
Kelvin.
