Re: Newbie to My Sql.... need some assistance

[Brenden Sanborn]

I wanted to post what I have for my connection code. On my index.php page, I have a header.inc and a connect.php which is the info below. I did many variations but am unsure if there needs to be anything special for just a local server setup. Thanks guys and gals.

<?
$cn = mysql_connect ("localhost", "root","mypassword") or die("Could not connect to server");
if(mysql_select_db ("my_database",$cn)==false) {die ("Could not connect to database");}
function SQLParse($str)
{
return stripslashes(str_replace("'","''",$str));
}

?>
