MySQL database connection script for PHP

This is a very useful piece of script, somehow these days MySQL gives depreciating error  as PDO has replaced it.Though it hasn't been officially deprecated - due to widespread use - in terms of best practice and education, it might as well be. Please search for PDO DB connection script in this blog under Project and Script.
