Hi,

In all of my scripts, I have the mysql connection, as well as the selection of the mysql database.

However, the connection and the database is the same one defined in the vBulletin config.

My plugins are all using global_start.

How can I erase my db connection from my script to use the one vB is already using?

Sample script I am using:

PHP Code:


			
ob_start();

?>

<center><?php

//this is the same as my vBulletin's db connection info in config.php

$link = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password");



mysql_select_db(databasename);

?>

 

<html>

<body>

 

<?php



$sql = mysql_query("my query here");

//stuff here

echo "hi";

?>

</html></center>

<?php

   $countsrr = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

if you are running the queries from within vbulletin then you have an open connection to the database already and can just run your query, if they are scripts outside of vbulletin then maybe try

PHP Code:


			
require_once('./includes/config.php');

Wow ,I feel like an idiot.
Removed my link and db select from the plugin and it's working like a charm.

Thanks!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
