[RESOLVED] Include Help

[BlaizeDuke]

Like I said in my previous thread I'm really new at this. Can someone help me with creating an include file?

I have all of my database information in the included file testinclude.php then I include it by

<?PHP 
include("testinclude.php");
?>

It doesn't seem to work though. I'm using what I think is an old version of PHP and MySQL for dummies... so that might be the problem. Can someone help me out with includes?

How exactly does it not work?

Ok so in my include file there is this:

<?php
$host-"asfkjdsi.sdfiasf";
$user-"thisismyusername";
$password-"thisismypassword";
$database-"players";
?>

And then after the include in my new page I put:

$con = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password); 
$selectdb = mysql_select_db($database,$con); 

And it gives me an error saying local host cannot be found or something like that.

It looks like your include file is wrong. It should be something like:

<?php
$host = "asfkjdsi.sdfiasf";
$user = "thisismyusername";
$password = "thisismypassword";
$database = "players";

That fixed it... thanks!
