The sql_selectdb() function is used to select a connection to a database server that offers a database for use. The function returns true of the operation is successful, otherwise it returns false.
The sql_selectdb() function has 3 parameters:
-
$nombeing the name of the database to use, -
$serveur, -
$option.
This function is used by SPIP during the installation routine to try to pre-select the name of the database to be used, by means of attempting to select a database with the same name as the login.
$test_base = $login_db;
$ok = sql_selectdb($test_base, $server_db);
