Mysql Database Connection in PHP

This is a simple example of how you could create a database connection from PHP to MySQL. It is good to save the MySQL Database Connection in a seperate php file in a secure part of the website. Then the file can be referenced in any page that requires a connection to the database file or This will save you from having to retype the details on every page and makes code reusable.

$db_host='';
 
//MySQL database name (i.e. database)
$db_name='';
 
//MySQL database username (i.e. user)
$db_user='';
 
//MySQL database password for the user above
$db_pass='';
 
//Initialize connection
$connection = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass) or die ('Error');
mysql_select_db($db_name);
