You will have to give us a bit more of an idea about what you are trying to do before anyone can really help.

Hello,

You are not giving much details as to what you want to do. I am assuming that you want to connect to mysql outside Smf. In that case please try this code:

Code Select Expand

<?php

$servername = "localhost";
$db_username = "username";
$db_password = "password";

$connection = mysql_connect($servername, $db_username, $db_password);

if (!$connection) 
{
    die('Connection error : ' . mysql_error());
}
?>

And of course, you should fill in the correct database information for the variable values listed in my example. Hope it helps.
