Database Connectivity Script in PHP

0 comments

Steps:

1) Copy the below code, open any text editor viz. Notepad++ and save as dbc.php

2) Set values inside the quotes for your MySQL settings.
    - database name
    - database user
    - database password

you will get these information from your hosting provider. Make sure you give full access rights to the database user. If you have cpanel, just login and create database and database user.

example:
define ("DB_HOST", "xxxxx"); // set database host
define ("DB_USER", "xxxx"); // set database user
define ("DB_PASS","xxxx"); // set database password
define ("DB_NAME","xxxx"); // set database name

3) Setting up reCaptcha for your Script:


   (i) Download recaptcha php library (http://recaptcha.net/plugins/php/), unzip and copy the single php file recaptchalib.php into login script folder. This is very important, without which the login script will not work.

   (ii) Go to recaptcha.net, register a free account, and you will get public and private keys. Make a note of that and set it here inside dbc.php
$publickey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
$privatekey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";


4) Configuration settings:

(i) Automatic or Manual registration

/* Registration Type (Automatic or Manual)
1 -> Automatic Registration (Users will receive activation code and they will be automatically approved after clicking activation link)
0 -> Manual Approval (Users will not receive activation code and you will need to approve every user manually)
*/
$user_registration = 1; // set 0 or 1

(ii) Other Settings (optional only)
These are the other settings in the script if you want you can change it like cookie expiry time, specify admin levels and much more..

define("COOKIE_TIME_OUT", 10); //specify cookie timeout in days (default is 10 days)
define('SALT_LENGTH', 9); // salt for password
