MySQL Database Php

  4. I got tired of typing the connection code for MySQL on every PHP
page, so we built this simple little function.
// CONSTANTS
define("DBSERVER", "www");
define("DBUSER", "LimitedUser");
define("DBPASS", "N0tAPa55w02d");
$SQL = "";
$LastError = "";
function DatabaseConnect()
{
global $LastError;
$LastError = "";
//-----------------------------
// Connect to the mysql server.
//-----------------------------
$dbHandle = @mysql_connect(DBSERVER, DBUSER, DBPASS);
if ($dbHandle == false) {
$LastError = "Unable to connect to the database server: " . mysql_error();
return false;
}
mysql_select_db("test");
return true;
}
?>
