I've seen some off topic questions asking how to connect to a database...

connect.php should be:

<?
$connect=mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS);
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME);
?>

And to use it on any page?

<?include ('connect.php' ?>

KTHXBAI.

Try checking out the MySQL and PHP tutorials at TNB.

connect.php should be:

$db_host = "MyHost";
$db_username = "MyUsername";
$db_pass = "MyPass";
$db_name = "MyDatabase";

mysql_connect("$db_host","$db_username","$db_pass" or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("$db_name" or die("no database by that name";

just replace the variable contents with your host, password, user, and database name.

To include it, just use:

include_once 'connect.php';

Or plain include.
