Cheers Roel,
I already downloaded the code from Wrox, thats what I was trying to use.
Must be something else I am missing or doing wrong.
Thanks anyway.

common_db.inc with just the following:
(which you would for security reasons put in a directory outside the
webroot, and rename the file to .common_db.inc (with a . in front of it))
show_more_db.php with
Couldn't connect to specified server");
mysql_select_db($default_dbname)

$con = mysql_connect("your_host", $user, $pass);
if(!$con) {
print "no connection
