// Connect to the database server
$dbcnx = @mysql_connect("localhost","root", "password"); if (!$dbcnx) { echo( "<P>Unable to connect to the " ."database server at this time.</P>" ); exit(); }
I am using a statement like this to connect to my sql server, however, i do not quite understand some general syntax.
localhost= is this going to be the ip of my linux box, or my firewall
password & root = when i do put char's into here do I take away the quotes??

mysql_drop_db
MYSQL_DROP_DB(3) 1 MYSQL_DROP_DB(3)
mysql_drop_db - Drop (delete) a MySQL database
SYNOPSIS
Warning
This function was deprecated in PHP 4.3.0, and will be removed in the future, along with the entirety of the original MySQL exten-
sion. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more
information. Alternatives to this function include:
oExecute a
DROP DATABASE query
bool mysql_drop_db (string $database_name, [resource $link_identifier = NULL])
DESCRIPTION
mysql_drop_db(3) attempts to drop (remove) an entire database from the server associated with the specified link identifier. This function
is deprecated, it is preferable to use mysql_query(3) to issue an sql DROP DATABASE statement instead.
o $database_name
- The name of the database that will be deleted.
o $
link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect(3) is
assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection
is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example #1
mysql_drop_db(3) alternative example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$sql = 'DROP DATABASE my_db';
if (mysql_query($sql, $link)) {
echo "Database my_db was successfully dropped
";
} else {
echo 'Error dropping database: ' . mysql_error() . "
";
}
?>
Warning
This function will not be available if the MySQL extension was built against a MySQL 4.x client library.
Note
For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_dropdb(3)
mysql_query(3).
