//Instead of always adding your database connection details to every php page that accesses your database just add in the line <?php include "config.php"; ?>
An example of a config.php file is below the dotted line.


---------------------------------------


<?php

//set the variables for the database access:

$Host = "localhost";
$User = "youruser";
$Password = "yourpassword";
$DBName = "your databasename";

?>
