hi,I did not exactly understand what u mean by executing sql query for phpbb mods.From what I understand is u have a script which needs to be executed for the phpbb mod to work.To do this login to cpanel and go to phpMyadmin. Select the database on which u want to execute the query.Select the SQL tab. Type in or upload the file with the sql statements and click go.All the sql statements in the file will execute one after the other.For executing the query thru phpgo to the cpanel and select mysql databases.For the database that u require, there will be connection string available for perl,php and jdbc. U can use the php connection string for getting a connection in php and executing the sql query.Cheers.

To run an SQL query, first you have to connect to your server thusly :

mysql_pconnect ( $ServerAddress, $mySQL_Username, $mySQL_Password );

Then you have to select a database, like so.

mysql_selectdb ( $DataBaseName );

Then you run a query like this :

mysql_query ($querystring );

Hope that helps.

I don't think that's the case. PHPBB use a database layer to communicate with the database instead of using the database directly. So it is compatible with multiple Database so I think you should use the Database layer. I don't remember but you can study code in the PHPBB directory

I was just looking through the phpBB code, and, indeed, it does have a database abstraction layer. That's because phpBB doesn't know where it will be running - except that it will be on some PHP machine, with some database it can talk to using SQL. However, since we - the end-user - know that it will be running on mySQL, we don't need to use abstraction because we know that we're only writing the hack to run in one place. Of course, if you do move to a non-mySQL database, you're royally shafted.Oh, and i screwed up : it's mysql_select_db().
