Default Accessing DB in another script

I know little about writing VB scrips / mods, but I am trying to use the VB config.php to access the DB from another part of my site.

With the DB settings set to this in config.php...

PHP Code:
$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = 'myserver';
$config['MasterServer']['port'] = 3306;
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'myusername';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'mypassword'
... can someone please help me write the connect code?

Let's say the config.sys file is in:
Code:
http://www.mysite.com/forum/includes/
Thanks!

It depends on where you place your script.
If your script is in the root and your forum is located in /forum/ then you can connect doing something like:

PHP Code:
require("forum/includes/config.php");
$dbname "somedatabasename";

try {
    
$db = new PDO("mysql:dbname=" $dbname ";host=" $config['MasterServer']['servername'] . ";port=" $config['MasterServer']['port'], $config['MasterServer']['username'], $config['MasterServer']['password']);
    
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODEPDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch(
PDOException $e) {
    die(
'Could not connect to the database:<br/>' $e);
}

$stmt $db->prepare("SELECT mycolumn FROM sometable WHERE somevalue = ? AND somevalue2 = ?");
$stmt->execute(array("somevalue1""somevalue2"));

// Iterate through data
foreach($stmt as $row){
   
var_dump($row); // $row['mycolumn']
}

// Or if only one row result
$row $stmt->fetch();
var_dump($row); // $row['mycolumn'] 
* Quickly wrote it without testing.

Based on what you want to do, you don't need to manually connect to the database but simply call the vB API externally from a different site that's on the same server.

Take a look at this blog on how to login to vB from an external site.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/blogs...n-your-website

It calls the user API to login and did not have to manually connect to vB database.
