Basically what they are saying is
$link is your connection to your database.
Remote_host mysql_user and mysql_password are your login variables
(which you should have defined in your db connection function somewhere
else - preferably where noone can see it) or die means if it don't work
for some reason print out the mysql_error. Mysql_error is a built in
function of php and is useful to display problems...
Here is a typical function I use to connect to a DB.
function db_connect()
{
$LocalHost = "localhost";
$User = "root";
$Password = "password";
$DBName = "database_name";
$result = @mysql_connect("$LocalHost", "$User", "$Password")or
die("Could not connect to the database");
if (!$result)
return false;
if ([EMAIL PROTECTED]("$DBName"))
return false;
return $result;
}
Obviously change the variables $localhost (with your servername) $user
(your username) password (you guessed it your password) and $DBName with
the name of your database.
Then when you want to connect to the DB in php you just call
db_connect();
The guys are right though for this level of questions you should read
the manual all of this is explained in greater detail than we can go
into.
