Include a PHP file in another PHP file

Here is an example:
First is the PHP file containing the segment of the PHP codes for connecting to the MySQL database, I called it “connectmysql.php”:

<?php
mysql_connect("Host Name", "User Name", "User Password") or die("Connection Failed");
mysql_select_db("DataBase Name")or die("Connection Failed");
?>

Now here is the file which requires the segment of the PHP codes for connecting to the MySQL database in the beginning of the file, I called this file “needsconnectmysql.php”:

1
2
3
4
5

<?php
//We import the codes from the PHP file "connectmysql.php"
require_once ('connectdatabase.php');
//and we type the rest of the code here
?>

Note that the codes of the “connectmysql.php” are now included in the “needsconnectmysql.php”.

require_once () PHP function only works when you want to include a file only once, if you want to include more than once, use the PHP function require().
