php pro members problems.

[danbot26]

Hi, I've just recently started working with PHP and mysql databases and I was trying to implement the phppromembers code from www.gacybertech.com but with little success.

I keeps telling me

Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource

I assume therefore that I'm not connecting to my database properly. The code that access the database goes like this

<?php

FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"

Type="MYSQL"

HTTP="true"

$hostname_dbConnection = "*";
$database_dbConnection = "";
$username_dbConnection = "";
$password_dbConnection = "*";
$dbConnection = mysql_pconnect($hostname_dbConnection, $username_dbConnection, $password_dbConnection) or die(mysql_error());

require "http://www.nocustard.co.uk/admin/members/Connections/engine.php";
?>

Has anyone got any experience of using this code, or can anyone help me in general?

Dan.

I've had similar problems - did you find a solution?

[danbot26]

I did find a sort of solution,

the computer didn't seem to like the require code, when I changed the code to 'include' instead of 'require' it seemed to work fine. I don't understand why this is but it's all working now.
