Global DB replacement? What do we use now?

[No-Server]

Hey,

 

in former addons we used

global $db_host,$db_username,$db_password,$db_name;

mysql_connect($db_host,$db_username,$db_password);

which does not work anymore? What do we use now? Or is that still working?

 

Edit:

To share the answer:

replace the global part with

require_once($ROOTDIR .'/configuration.php');
