Hi all,
Can someone tell me how to connect to the mySQL db on HR servers from php scripts from my site? I know this is a newbie question, but i'm losing alot of hair trying to figure this out on my own. Thanks

Thanks Darin,
I've seen the manual, read it (relevant parts of it) but i'm just stuck. I'll try the link and go from there. Thanks again.

I read that part about 10 times didn't understand a thing, until I actually started playing around with it. Now it does exactly what I want. :)

Try like this

$dbcon = mysql_connect("db_name","username","password") or die ("nup its not working");

Then use the $dbcon variable where ever you need to connect
