MySQL_DB_Connect is a database connection handler making use of PHP. It shouldn't be too hard to be 
able to work on PostgreSQL, MSSql, Oracle, etc. If you require this please change the 
mysql_db_connect.inc.php file to suit your needs.

Please make sure you have the following files:
	* mysql_db_connect.cfg.php       : Database settings
	* mysql_db_connect.Functions.txt : Summary of functions
	* mysql_db_connect.inc.php       : Database handler
	* mysql_db_connect.Readme.txt    : This file
	
To get it to work, edit the mysql_db_connect.cfg.php file as follows:

	$host        :  The address where your server is located
	$db          :  The database you want to connect to
	$user        :  The username required to login to the server
	$pwd         :  The password for the user specified above.
	$keeplog     :  Whether a log of all queries should be kept
	$logpath     :  Path where log should be kept
	$fullErr     :  How you want errors to be displayed
	$rollBackSup :  If your database has transactional support (InnoDB)

In every PHP script you will be using MySQL_DB_Connect add the following code:

		require("mysql_db_connect.inc.php");
		$databaseLinkVariable = new mysql_db_connect();
		
To perform a query call:

		$databaseLinkVariable->db_qry($query);
		
To get the number of rows retrieved in the query call:

		$numberOfRows = $databaseLinkVariable->row_count();
		
To retrieve a row from the result set call:
	
		$oneRowFromResult = $databaseLinkVariable->get_data();
		
	The result will be given in a array with indexes using the field names and indexes starting at 0 and ending at the number of fields 
	minus one. If you retrieve 9 fields with values F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9 the array would 
	look something like this:

$oneRowFromResult:
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
|  [0]  |  [1]  |  [2]  |  [3]  |  [4]  |  [5]  |  [6]  |  [7]  |  [8]  |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
|  F1   |  F2   |  F3   |  F4   |  F5   |  F6   |  F7   |  F8   |  F9   |
+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
		
To retrieve the names of the fields in the result set call:

		$fieldNames = $databaseLinkVariable->get_fields();
		
	The result will be given in an array as above
