Hello , Happy New Year to all,
I have two statements to make a database connection. One of them using define statement variables to parse the information to the function to connect to the database, i.e. open_connect(db_user, db_pass, db_name, db_host = 'localhost', $show_error=1) The second example uses assigned variables, for example, open_connect($db_user, $db_pass, $db_name, $db_host = 'localhost', $show_error=1) Seems to me that both of these techniques do the same thing so I was wondering why one would be any advantage over the other, though I just read that the define variables take twice as long to process under some conditions. Can some one explain which technique is the preferred method or whether or not any compelling reason exist for using one over the other? Thanks in advanced for any comments. -- Best regards, Webmaster mailto:webmas...@vbplusme.com _______________________________________________ New York PHP Users Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/Show-Participation
