When developing php/mysql on a local machine, then uploading to a remote site, here is a little tip to speed development and testing when using mysql_connect. This will save you having to change server info for the connect function. Note: it assumes a secure development machine as mysql login is default here. When final testing has passed then the surplus can be deleted and just the remote login details used. -------------------------------------- //This script checks if we are on the local development //machine or scipt is sittiing on the remote server // Check to see if we are on the local(development machine) if (getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR") == "127.0.0.1"){ $server_addr = "localhost"; $database = "test"; $user = "root"; $pass = ""; }else{ $server_addr = "db.remoteaddress.com"; $database = "database_name"; $user = "db_user_name"; $pass = "db_password"; } // Connecting, selecting database $link = @mysql_connect($server_addr, $user, $pass ) or die("Could not connect to database."); @mysql_select_db($database) or die("Could not select database."); // Regards, Brett ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32266 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32266&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32266&report=yes
