I'm using a class that I downloaded, and to access the database it uses
variable names in all caps, like this:
if(!defined("MAGPIE_DBUSER")) define("MAGPIE_DBUSER", "brian");

$dbuser = MAGPIE_DBUSER;
...
$dbh = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
And it works fine. But I already have my database parameters configured
in some existing variables, so I tried to simplify all of the above and
access it like this (these variables are my existing ones):
$dbh = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);
And it no longer works, says it can't connect to the database. What's
the deal with those variables in all caps, and why won't mine work? The
above class is inside a defined function, are my variables not valid
inside that function?
