I would like to ad this to my site but I don't noe what is is talking about here it is

<?php
/*
EasyArcade
(C) 2007 NZ's Finest
www.nzsfinest.com
*/
$dbhost = "localhost"; // Your database host (usually localhost)
$dbuser = ""; // Your database username
$dbpass = ""; // Your database password
$dbname = ""; // Your database name
$dbprefix = "ea_"; // Table prefix
?>


----[ 4. HOW TO INSTALL ]----
To install EasyArcade, just follow these steps:

1) Edit the file "config.php" in the folder "inc" (in the "upload" folder).
Change the information to suit your MySQL database.

2) Upload everything inside the folder "upload" to your web host.

3) Go to http://<yourdomain>/install/ and follow the instructions.
(where <yourdomain> is the domain where you uploaded EasyArcade to)

4) After EasyArcade has been installed, remove the "install" and "upgrade" directory.

5) Enjoy!


If some one could help me fill in the the blake , it would be great

Hi John,

This is a DB driven script, so the first thing to do when you install it, is to provide the database connection details.
You need to create a new Database in your CP, create a username/password for it, ADD it to the allowed users of the specific Database. Then you need to put these details in the above "config.php" file (between the double quotes) and upload it on your easy arcade folder.
