Place the code in a file ( ie; dbcon.php ) and include that file in any page
which may need it using an include statement: include("dbcon.php");

Subject: [PHP] connecting to mysql db
hi,
I am trying to play and learn php along with mysql and I have a question
about connecting to a db.
Is the following code necessary on every php page where I am retrieving some
data from a db or is there any way to connect once (something like
index.php) and have that connection open through subsequent pages?
the code
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "", "")
or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
print ("Connected successfully");
mysql_select_db("test")
or die("Could not select database: " . mysql_error());
?>
thanx
iggy
