use the config?

[frandy]

Right so im making my own script, and its going to be located out with the "forum" directory etc so my page will be index and im wanting to use the config file thats found in the /forum/includes/config.php but see...theres one slight problem...how to I make a connection to the database with that config file?

Ive never worked with one such like that, its always been like

$usern = usern;
$pass = pass;

where as vbulletin is like:

$config['masterdb']['username'] =

and so on...if someone can explain how I would connect using this (as I do not wish to make my own config file either)

Cheers

Anyone? I need this for a project :-(
