Carrying on from my last post about connecting to an SQL database using PHP, here are the functions I use to open and close database connections (Note: » just extends the line, you’ll need to remove that for this to work correctly).
// to open the database
function connectToDatabase () {
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "database_name", »
"database_password");
if ($link && mysql_select_db("database_name"));
return ($link);
return (FALSE);
}
// to close the database
function db_close($connecter) {
mysql_close($connecter);
}
It’s a good idea to keep these database connection functions in one place and then reuse them as you need, rather than repeating them everywhere.

Stand Up Guy
An icon for overweight middle aged bogun-geek web designers. A lego block in a Meccano world. A synergy of tattoos, memories of bare knuckle fist fights, and old episodes of Star Trek. My name is Steven Clark and I'm a highly opinionated web designer with a few good ideas. I'm too old for fist fights.
My photography blog Walk a Mile in my Shoes is back up and running. Due to bandwidth issues it's only one image at a time and not full text in the RSS feed. It's licensed under creative commons , meaning not for commercial use and you need to attribute, otherwise drop me a line via the contact form on this site.
You might also like to check out my links blog over at Nortypig.com to learn more about everything worth mentioning.
Currently I only have a static page for illustrations but if time allows I'd like to start another illustration blog.
