Alright, i'm making my own site in wish i use php/mysql so therefore i need to make a connection. Since my connection details changes from my pc to my host i though of making a conn.php file to include in my other files which i could change. It looks something like this...

conn.php

code:

---

<?php
  $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die ("Problem connecting to Database");
  mysql_select_db("dbname", $conn);

  .....
?>

---

other.php

code:

---

<?php
  include (conn.php);

  .....
?>

---

but when i do:

code:

---

$query_string = "select * from table";
$result = mysql_query($query_string, $conn);

---

it gives an error that $conn isn't declared. So i was just looking for some insight, or if there's a better way of doing it.

Thx in advance
