Re: php require problem

i think you didnt provide password on line:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');

or simply use this code below:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password') ;
mysql_select_db('dbname');
?>
<?php
mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password') ;
mysql_select_db('dbname');
?>

 $dbhost = 'localhost';
   $dbuser = 'root';
   $dbpass = 'dbpassword';
   $dbname = 'databasename';
   $errorMessage = '';

 $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql');

   mysql_select_db($dbname);

  $sql = "      QUERY              ";

   $result = mysql_query($sql) 
             or die('Query failed. ' . mysql_error()); 

?>

Re: php require problem

you shoud seek out a tutorial on writting PHP classes. this will help you a lot in the future. it's good practice in my opinion to write it once and reuse it forever. building up a library of classes will help you not having to waste time rewriting or copy/pasting/modifiy'n

look around the web for a good PHP or PHP/MySQL cookbook, they are good sources for learning quickly and correctly.

hope this helps!
