I'm a learning programmer and I'm trying to learn PHP. Now the point is that I use alot of db connections in my new project. This are alot of different DB's an require different connection.
Does anybody a way where I can create a function what makes me use my code like this? Getdata($User, $beerbrand, $sales); and use these variables in my code? I use the same way to get the data out of the database everytime. But it's alot of code, where I think it should be possible to make that a little easier.
The way I use now:
mysql_connect($host, $user, $password) or die ("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name");
$stuff = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM beers ORDER BY ID");
while($frontstuff = mysql_fetch_array($stuff)){
$us = $frontstuff['Beer'];
}
If you think this is a stupid question, please be gentle and explain it to me in a easy way.
Best regards
