[HELP] PHP Coding [HELP]

[JoshuaLuke]

Hey,

As some of you may know, im developing ParaCMS. Ive come across a small problem.
I have a code:

mysql_connect($CONFIG['mysql']['hostname'],$CONFIG['mysql']['username'],$CONFIG['mysql']['password']) or die("Could not connect to server, error: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($CONFIG['mysql']['database']) or die("Could not connect to database, error: ".mysql_error());

and I want to put it in a global.php document. Rather than having it in my config.php. I have tried to use include 'config.php' in my global.php page, but its failing. CODE:

Config:

<?php

// Below is the configuration for MySQL. Please fill all of it out correctly in order for the website to function

$CONFIG['mysql']['hostname'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL Host

$CONFIG['mysql']['username'] = 'root'; // MySQL Username

$CONFIG['mysql']['password'] = 'hello12'; // MySQL Password

$CONFIG['mysql']['database'] = 'phx'; // MySQL Database
?>

Global:

<?php
include_once 'config.php';

mysql_connect($CONFIG['mysql']['hostname'],$CONFIG['mysql']['username'],$CONFIG['mysql']['password']) or die("Could not connect to server, error: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($CONFIG['mysql']['database']) or die("Could not connect to database, error: ".mysql_error());


?>

If you can sort my problams, please tell me

1) You probably want to require_once.

 

[JoshuaLuke]

1) You probably want to require_once.

I changed it to require_once, it didnt work.

 

[CronicHosts]

include_once 'config.php';

That's a strange way of putting it.

require_once('config.php');

Missing your tags.

Derp
Use $config as a global var (global $config)
Also, use MySQL_connect() in a function, such as connect (in your database class)

}


?>

Still isnt working

 

[CronicHosts]

function connect() {

So you have a core then?

 

[brsy]

Use this:

Plus, where you select the database, you are suppose to put the connection, like I did below.

class engine {
 
    public function __construct() {
        global $config;
   
            $con = mysql_connect($config['db']['host'], $config['db']['user'], $config['db']['password']) or die("y u no put right password");
            mysql_select_db($config['db']['database'], $con) or die("wrong database");
    }
}

 

[JoshuaLuke]

function connect() {

So you have a core then?

Not yet ^.^ Just Adil told me to function it.

Sorry if im a newb ;3

Fucking epic facepalm.
Change $config to $CONFIG (your config array)

 

[JoshuaLuke]

Facepalm all you like. Still dosent work.

 

[brsy]

Facepalm all you like. Still dosent work.

Read my reply above..

 

[Adil]

Oh fucking Hell.
WHY DO YOU HAVE GLOBAL $config in your config file?
Declare the fucking config array.
$CONFIG=array();

 

[JoshuaLuke]

Read my reply above..

Ive tried using it, dosent work either:

?>

Just to clarify, I havent got'ny class.core, class.engine etc yet


Isnt working adil :l

 

[Adil]

Declare the array in the config file.
If you can't do that, don't use an array for configuration values.

 

[JoshuaLuke]

Declare the array in the config file.
If you can't do that, don't use an array for configuration values.

I already have, I added $CONFIG = array(); to the top of it, or does the config need to be inside the array?

OMFG. You have to fucking use what I gave you, then simply edit all the variables to the one in your config...

I already did, after posting:

        $CONFIG = array();

$CONFIG = array();

Cant you just correct them for me :l

 

[Markshall]

You can't access global variables from a function unless you type something like

global $config;

 

[brsy]

        $config['db']['host'] = 'localhost'; // MySQL Host
 
$config['db']['user'] = 'root'; // MySQL Username
 
$config['db']['password'] = 'hello12'; // MySQL Password
 
$config['db']['database'] = 'phx'; // MySQL Database

            $con = mysql_connect($config['db']['host'], $config['db']['user'], $config['db']['password']) or die("y u no put right password");
            mysql_select_db($config['db']['database'], $con) or die("wrong database");
