php - When I type in connect() to my database, my localhost server comes up blank -

is connect() function depecrated or something? when seek connect mysql database using function, page stops working? i'm doing jeffrey ways 30daysjquery course of study lesson 25

here's code in index.php file

<?php require 'functions.php' if ( isset($_post['q'])) { connect(); } include 'views/index.tmpl.php' ?>

this code in functions.php file

<?php function connect(){ global $pdo; // set global other functions can access $pdo = new pdo("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=sakila", "root", "root"); } function get_actors (){ } ?>

might not have access content that's in functions.php? if how create access?

your function should maybe homecoming connection:

function connect(){ $pdo = new pdo("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=sakila", "root", "root"); homecoming $pdo; }

then, function get_actors() be

$db_connection = connect(); get_actors( $db_connection ); function get_actors( $pdo ) { // // utilize database connection $pdo actors // }

you have add together parameter function get_actors. no need modify code function.
