where is my database?
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2003 3:18 pm
I am extremely new to PHP.
I design basic websites, and a client wants me to add pages to their existing site which uses PHP. They have a product catalog which uses a "catalog_pages.php" file to generate a product category page. Obviously it uses variables and it appears to draw from a database file. But I can't find the database file anywhere on the server. The code from the PHP page says:
<?php
$connId = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "clearad_com", "scoochpaq");
mysql_select_db("db_clearad_com");
Is it a virtual database? How do I get to it so I can add items to it and set up the "catalog_pages.php" to read the new items? You can see the actual site at http://www.clearad.com/catalog_home.htm (select a category).
