 * Hi, i am new to word press and ill like to ask some questions.
    so far everything
   work out great. wordpress has been so impressive that i have done most of my 
   work using wordpress now. but i want to take it a little farther but i don’t 
   know if is possible. i want to use MYSQL to generate dynamic things.
 * my question is, should i do a include file of a mysql connection or does wordpress
   has a way of calling mysql?
 * any advice on mysql and wordpress..
 * anything will help thank you and excuse my English.

 * wow can a guy get some help here?
 * i narrow down the problem to WPDB not being loaded into the new pages i made,
   the only way it will work is if i call a new class and specify the database ect..
   things that shouldn’t be on pages becuase of security risk.. any help? any one?
   anything? come on people..

 * What page is it on? Something external to WordPress?
 * Post some code and you’re likely to get some more assistance. And “it tells me
   the fatal error” isn’t really helpful; what did the fatal error say?
