[PHP] MySQL Database Connection Question
I have a user registration form that asks new users to register. However, Do I post the MySQLconnection string in the page they are completing or in the later page that the data is posted to, or both...? -- - Michael Mason Arras People www.arraspeople.co.uk - -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I don't think I understand your question, but let me take a stab at it anyway. There should be no reason to pass along the mysql connection ID in a form as it will be quite useless when the page is submitted because these connections are dropped when your PHP program ends execution. You will need to make a new connection to the database in order to store the entered values from a form submission. If I didn't get your question right, please be more clear about what you mean when you say MySQLconnection string.

Not sure I follow what you're asking, but you only need to open a connection to the MySQL server when you want to run queries (select, insert, update, etc.) against it. If the page with the form on it doesn't need any mysql data for other parts of the page, then you don't have to open it there. If you plan on putting the form results into a db after the user posts it, then you need a connection on that page. -- John C.
