[RESOLVED] Help With My Script!

[m92g11]

Hello,

I was hoping that you all could help me with a problem.

See, my problem is that I've made a connection to the database. And I store the details in a file called config.php. But I want to make a script which will provide a form for the user to enter stuff and will connect using the details from the config file and add that stuff to the database.

It's probably the simplest script to make, but I'm stuck. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!

So I guess your config.php is your connection to the database.

In your form you will have something like

form.php
<form action="post" action="script.php">
<input type="text" value="" name="name" />
<input type="submit" name="commit" />
</form>

script.php

   include_once('config.php');
  // Do your db stuff

  //close db connection
  mysql_close($conn);

there are many ways in setting your site up. But this is one way if you dont need a db connection on every page. If you need to do db stuff as in you have custom session handling you can setup include_once('config.php'); in your index.php and at the bottom of your index.php close your mysql connection.

But you need to read up more on some PHP basics

GOODLUCK!
