Open the script in your text editor. No HTML header or footer is created, thus
you may want to include a header at the top of the script, and include a
footer at the end of the script.
3.1. Database connection
Various options are configured near the top of the script, most notably the
database logon. For security reasons, you may want to copy/paste the logon
options to a separate, included file.
MySQL logon options host name, user name, password, database, and table appear
in the following format.
Example 3-1. Database connection options
$opts['hn'] = 'localhost';
$opts['un'] = 'username';
$opts['pw'] = 'password';
$opts['db'] = 'database';
$opts['tb'] = 'table';
Recommended usage is, that the first four options shown above should be moved
to a separate, included file.
It is a rather common situation to use phpMyEdit inside larger project. To
prevent phpMyEdit from creating an additional persistent database connection,
supply the $opts['dbh'] option. In the example below,
$your_project_db_handle represents a previously allocated
MySQL database handle. When $opts['dbh'] is specified, the
first four options appearing above are ignored.
Example 3-2. Supplying allocated connection
$opts['dbh'] = $your_project_db_handle;
