| | I did create this topic mainly because I want to know everything about that configuration file. I will post other replies if I want to know more depending on your experience.
Is this code correct for that file:
CODE <?
$host="localhost";
$dbname="XXX";
$dbuser="XXX";
$dbpass="XXX";
$connection=mysql_connect($host, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
?>
Add your suggestions or improve it. |

CODE <?
$host="localhost";
$dbname="XXX";
$dbuser="XXX";
$dbpass="XXX";
$connection=mysql_connect($host, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());
?> It looks like it is a "typical" configuration file, but you need to replace the "XXX" with the correct data for your account and MySql information. Localhost is correct for a trap17 account, the dbname and dbuser will be prefixed with your trap17 account name and an underscore so that it would become jlhaslip_ followed by the actual name of the database. The password would be specific to your database, too. You need to have the database built using the MySql selection in the cpanel and a user/password also needs to be previously created and allowed the privileges for the database.

Not really, that I am aware of. Be sure to safe that file with a PHP file extension, though, in case someone links to it. When you use a php file extension, the contents can not be read in a Browser since there are not echo commands. You also might want to save it using the "common" inc.php file extension so you know that it is a file to be "included" and that it is a php file. file name would become: "mysql.inc.php" then include ("mysql.inc.php"); is what you would need in the php file which calls the include. Another security issue would be to store the "mysql.inc.php" file outside of the public_html folder so that it is not available via the web, only by the php parser. Then you would access it using include ("../mysql.inc.php"); (assuming the calling file is in the public_html folder.

SO, you mean it's better to use like db.inc.php instead of confg.php?

I wouldn't suggest putting this file in the public_html folder. Put it up one directory in your root folder. This should keep your password hidden if the php parser were to ever break.

Thanx guys for the info but a newbie like me would not jump into the config file. I need to start from scratch. I have google php tutorials but I keep getting the ones that are base on assumption I've already installed php or I need help with some trix on top of the basic php knowledge that I have. I need tutorials that will take me from the moment I double-click my php installer to the moment when I can say I have configured my site and php, apache and mySQL are now working in harmony. By the way my site is not on my rig. It's hosted by Trap17. Can anyone point me to such resources? Pliz!

QUOTE(jlhaslip @ Apr 25 2008, 02:49 AM) correct. config.php or db.inc.php whatever its name is not important. For example: If filename is config.php, type the url of the config php, and you will see a blank page. You will not see the source codes, so filename is not important, I think.

It looks pritty good, same as mine basically! I don't think there's any improvement you can do security wise, but when your doing your mysql_query's use sprintf with mysql_real_escape_string (read up on it closer to the time) I think it makes the query more secure.
