From Angela Bradley, your Guide to PHP / MySQL
Hello Programmers
This week we take a look at how to check what version of PHP you are running. We also look at one of my favorite sites for code: Hotscripts.com
Have a great week!

PHP Version Check
Sometimes when you are looking to do something with PHP, it might say that it only works with a certain version of PHP. Although a lot of PHP is backwards compatible, newer stuff will only work with newer versions of PHP. There is an easy way to check what version of PHP you are running. This tutorial will show you how.

Looking for code?
When I start a new project, the first thing I do is look to see if there is code out there that I can use to save me some time. Sometimes it does everything I need, other times I need to modify it. One place I usually look right away is HotScripts. They have been one of my favorites for many years. What sites do you look at?

About PHP / MySQL: Connect to MySQL from PHP

From Angela Bradley, your Guide to PHP / MySQL
Greetings PHP Programmers!
This week we are taking a look at how to connect to your MySQL database from your PHP files. We also look at holding this information in a separate file that all of your other PHP files can access.
Have a great week!

Connect to MySQL from PHP
The first variable (shown as your.hostaddress.com) is the location of your database. Often this is "localhost". The next two variables are your username and password. This is the login you use for your MySQL database.

MySQL Connect Files in PHP
Your website can have several PHP pages that all access your MySQL database. One time saving idea is to store your connection code in a separate file, and then include the file where needed. For example, we can use the SQL code below to login to our MySQL database. Let's save this code in a file called datalogin.php.
