I want to query the coppermine database from inside coppermine but don't know how to get a working connection to the database.

I want to fetch some details for a files i have on the database from within coppermine
But I don't know who to use it. I was looking at the function include file and got this
After getting result from the database I know what to do but right now I don't know how
To fetch the details from the database. Maybe I an missing some function to connect to the database first

So I need some help to get a working connection to the database.

Thank You

It works. Maybe something was wrong with me saving it before so it doesn't work.
But the file is working.

Sorry again.

Thanks for returning and resolving your thread.
The code you posted just runs the query against the database, but it doesn't do anything with the results. For reference for others, you might want to post your code as well that actually does something with the query results.

I add another option to save lyrics to song on my site eHmongMusic.com (http://www.ehmongmusic.com) at text file on the server.

So I used the code above to get the title from the database corresponding to the the text file on the server. by the way the text file are saved as pid.txt Ex. 232.txt    4632.txt and such.
