I am trying to connect to database using a funciton in a functions.php
<?php
function connect_db_Blog (){
$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
$db=mysql_select_db("blog",$con);
}
?>
which I then include with
include ("scripts/php_functions.php");
but when I run a code with
connect_db_Blog();
var_dump($db);
if (!$db) {
echo "sorry, cannot connect to database";
} else {
here comes some code..
I get: sorry , cennot connect to database message.
when I listen for $db with
var_dump($db);
I get int(0);
instead of int(1) which is needed to proceed with the code.
If I just try to connect to database without the include I dont get the error message i.e. .
