note 79999 added to function.mysql-connect

I'm not sure if this has been stuck on before but this is something I like to do. Say if most of your pages need to connect to a MySQL server, and you change server. It's a big hassle to go through every page and change the connection settings. That is why I created the following function inside an external file. That way you just need to change the information there. The MySQL Connection Information is the same as if you are running it on your localhost using WAMP. The basic information. <?php function mysql_data($a){ if($a == 'host'){ return 'localhost'; } if($a == 'user'){ return 'root'; } if($a == 'pass'){ return ''; } } ?> Now on the page when you connect you simply have to write, <?php if(!$link = @mysql_connect(mysql_data('host'),mysql_data('user'), mysql_data('pass'))){ echo "<p>Could not connect to MySQL: ".mysql_error()."</p>"; die(); } ?> I hope this is usefull to anyone XD ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 124.178.171.167 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79999 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79999/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79999/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79999/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79999/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79999/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79999/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79999 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79999 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
