Problem With databases and Advanced Poll Script

Hey,

I'm trying to implement a php advanced poll script on my blog.

This is the code it said to place on the blog:

However, when I stick that in I get a wonderful error message:

Now it seems that it doesn't know which database to select. It should be using adpo1, though I have two others.

Now how do I include that in the code so my blog doesn't explode?

Thanks,

Skinny

 

Anyone familiar with this. The database's name is actually gazotto_adpo1.

Thanks

What is booth.php? You may have to specify the db in that file...or at least edit a string...

 

Okay,

Yes I have to specify the db, but I don't know how to do that. Can sombody help.

Try this before the connection is required:

$connection =MYSQL_CONNECT("db-location","userame","password") OR DIE("Unable to connect to database");  

@mysql_select_db("databasename") or die("Unable to select database");

PHP:

 

Would the db be vulnerable because the password is in the source code?

The password is only in the php script - it will not show in the actual html code (provided your server can parse php).

 

Looks like there is a config file you need to find. Look around the files and see if there is anything that looks like a configuration file. There is probably a default detabase name that the script is looking for and unless you change the default value, the script will not know the name of your actual db...
