When you require() (or include()) a file, it's as though the contents of the file were actually in the main script at the point you require it. So you could do:
Change the connections/mysql.php file to:
<?php
# FileName=""
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_mysql = "localhost";
$database_mysql = "massage_directory";
$username_mysql = "********"; // don't forget to change to actual DB user name
$password_mysql = "********"; // don't forget to change to actual DB user password
// change variable name to "$connection" and use regular connection:
$connection = mysql_connect($hostname_mysql, $username_mysql, $password_mysql) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>
Change your main script to:
<?php
require("Connections/mysql.php");
// Get parameters from URL
$center_lat = $_GET["lat"];
$center_lng = $_GET["lng"];
$radius = $_GET["radius"];
// Start XML file, create parent node
$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0");
$node = $dom->createElement("markers");
$parnode = $dom->appendChild($node);
// got rid of connection stuff since already done in the required file above
// Set the active mySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ("Can\'t use db : " . mysql_error());
}
// Search the rows in the markers table
$query = sprintf("SELECT address, name, lat, lng, ( 3959 * acos( cos( radians('%s') ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians('%s') ) + sin( radians('%s') ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) AS distance FROM markers HAVING distance < '%s' ORDER BY distance LIMIT 0 , 20",
mysql_real_escape_string($center_lat),
mysql_real_escape_string($center_lng),
mysql_real_escape_string($center_lat),
mysql_real_escape_string($radius));
$result = mysql_query($query);
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
die("Invalid query: " . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Iterate through the rows, adding XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$node = $dom->createElement("marker");
$newnode = $parnode->appendChild($node);
$newnode->setAttribute("name", $row['name']);
$newnode->setAttribute("address", $row['address']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lat", $row['lat']);
$newnode->setAttribute("lng", $row['lng']);
$newnode->setAttribute("distance", $row['distance']);
}
echo $dom->saveXML();
?>
