Manual  /  Functions  /  Database Functions  /  SetConnectionResource

Arguments:

Name	Description
$conn	The connection resource used for the database.
$table	The name of the table where the values should loaded from and stored in.
$type	The type of database you are connecting to. The default is set in the configuration file with the var FH_DEFAULT_DB_TYPE.

Description:

Set the connection resource which should be used for the database connection.

This function is implemented since v1.0 on 17 oct 2005.
The arguments $conn and $table are switched since 26 oct 2006. However, the old way still works for
backwards compatibility.

Note: You can only use these functions if you make use of the dbFormHandler class! So, include class.dbFormHandler.php and create a new FormHandler object with the constructor dbFormHandler().

Note: If you want to create a new connection, please use dbInfo() and dbConnect().

Example

<?php  /**  * Your Database Connection (In This Example MySQL)  */  $connection = mysql_connect( "localhost", "username", "password" );  // connection made ?  if( $connection )  {      // select the database      if( !mysql_select_db( "database", $connection ) )      {          // could not select database!          die('Could not select the database! Error: ' . mysql_error() );      }  }  // could not connect to the database  else  {      die('Could not make a connection to the database! Error: ' . mysql_error() );  }  // include the formhandler  include('FH3/class.dbFormHandler.php');  // create a new form  $form = new dbFormHandler();  // set the database info  $form -> setConnectionResource( $connection, "myTable", "mysql" );  // fields..  $form -> textField('Test', 'myField', FH_STRING );  // here comes the rest of the form  // ............  // set the data handler  // (NOTE the onSaved, this is different then onCorrect!)  $form -> onSaved("doSomething");  // display the form  $form -> flush();  // the data handler...  // NOTE the two arguments!!!!  function doSomething( $id, $data )  {      // do something here...  }  ?>
