So I have a different file called config.php which declares all the constants I will be using. I also included the config.php in the php script that I am now coding:
My php script:
<?php
session_start();
//Connection Config
include 'config.php';
$con = new PDO('mysql:host="'. DB_HOST .'";dbname="'. DB_NAME .'"', DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD);
?>
In config.php:
<?php
define('DB_HOST','localhost');
define('DB_NAME','theclass'); //name of database
define('DB_USER','root'); //mysql user
define('DB_PASSWORD',''); //mysql password ?>
However, WAMP is throwing an error on the $con = new PDO line giving me a fatal error. Is the parameter's used in the PDO statement correct in terms of format, because I'm not sure if I need the extra quotations around the DB variables.
