Am I entering the details correctly?

General PHP Help
#1

Hi,
This is a config file that I have for a script. I would appreciate your help in checking whether this correct. I have no experience in PHP whatsoever. Thank You Very Much

[php]<?php
// mySQL information
$server = ‘’; // MySql server
$username = ‘’; // MySql Username
$password = ‘’ ; // MySql Password
$database = ‘’; // MySql Database
//mySQL connect
$con = mysql_connect($server,$username,$password);
if(!$con) die('Could not connect: ’ . mysql_error());
if(!mysql_select_db($database, $con)) die('Could not select db: ’ . mysql_error());
$setting[‘site_path’] = dirname(FILE);
//Get settings
if (!isset($install)) {
$sql = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM ws_settings”);
while ($get_setting = mysql_fetch_array($sql)) {
$setting[$get_setting[‘name’]] = $get_setting[‘value’];
}
}
?>[/php]

seems good, however i made some changes
it will work the same way
[php]<?php
// mySQL information
$server = ‘’; // MySql server
$username = ‘’; // MySql Username
$password = ‘’ ; // MySql Password
$database = ‘’; // MySql Database
//mySQL connect

$con = mysql_connect($server,$username,$password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database, $con) or die(mysql_error());

$setting[‘site_path’] = dirname(FILE);
//Get settings
if (!isset($install))
{
$sql = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM ws_settings”);
while ($get_setting = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
$setting[$get_setting[‘name’]] = $get_setting[‘value’];
}
}
?>
[/php]

I got this error. Does this have anything to do with the code?
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/unique68/public_html/infinitegags/config.php on line 4

#4

Could you provide me an example of a database with the details. With some random details.

Thank You For your Help

#5

I assumed it wasnt working when you first posted to asking if you were doing it right.

now tell me what you want to do with this script

#6

yeah it is supposed to work. I was having doubts whether I was inputting my database details correctly.
Is this how you put in the details
[php]<?php
// mySQL information
$server = ‘’;localhost
$username = ‘’;unique67_in
$password = ‘’ ;infiniteawesome
$database = ‘’;unique67_infinitegags
//mySQL connect
[/php]

Those arent actual details but similar. Is the above correct. That is all I want to know.

#7

[php]

<?php // mySQL information $server = 'localhost'; $username = 'username'; $password = 'password' ; $database = 'database_name'; [/php]
