// database configuration 

$host ="db_host_name"; 

$user ="db_username"; 

$pass ="db_pasword"; 

$database = "database_name";

 $connect = new mysqli($host, $user, $pass,$database) or die("Error : ".mysql_error()); 

// access key to access API 

$access_key = "12345"; 

// google play url $gplay_url = "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=your.package.com";

Next, open close_database.php and connect_database.php located in includes directory using Code Editor. And find the following code,

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/YOUR_FOLDER/variables/variables.php');

change YOUR_FOLDER with folder name you have just created inside public_html. For example, if your folder name is Restaurant. Then the code above will look like this,

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/Restaurant/variables/variables.php');
