The code below doesn't connect:
$file_open = fopen("logindetails.txt","r");
if($file_open){
$user = fgets($file_open);
$pass = fgets($file_open);
$server = fgets($file_open);
}
echo "user: ",$user,"password: ",$pass,"server: ",$server;
@$db_handle = mysql_connect($server,$user,$pass);
but outputs:
user: root password: usbw server: localhost
logindetails.txt contains:
root
usbw
localhost
while this code connects:
$user = "root";
$pass = "usbw";
$server = "localhost";
echo "user: ",$user,"password: ",$pass,"server: ",$server;
@$db_handle = mysql_connect($server,$user,$pass);
I can't get this working and I can't guess why.
The variables you read with fgets
in also contain linebreaks.
$user == "root
";
$pass == "passw
";
Which is why MySQL won't recognize them as valid.
So, you should either:
trim()
themconfig.php
instead of a text file.
