PHP with MySQL database help needed

php mysql login password authentication

[t3c4n0d3]

I need a hand getting a login-exec.php script to work correctly.
Wondering if someone could check the script(s) and let me know what to change to make it work so I learn something and can move on to the next phase.

Welcome aboard t3c4n0d3, posts some code but be sure to make the login name anonymous. There's also a great PHP forum here.

Generally you would do something like

include ("db-connect.php");

(or require)

and it's contents would be

define('DB','your_db_name');
define('HOST','localhost');
define('USER','your_db_user');
define('PASSWORD','your_db_pass');

$db = mysql_pconnect(HOST,USER,PASSWORD) or die ("Could not connect to database");
mysql_select_db(DB,$db);
