DETAILED CONFIGURATION FIELD DESCRIPTION
----------------------------------------

* type:

The type of database. Typically 'mysql' (the only database type which
  is officially supported by the Phorum distribution). If your PHP version
  supports the "mysqli" extension, then do not change this field to "mysqli".
  Instead use the "mysql_php_extension" option.

* name:

The name of the database.

* server:

The hostname or IP-address of the database server. You only need to
  change this if the database server is running on a different system.

* user:

The username which is used for accessing the database server. The
  user must have full access rights to the database, for creating and
  maintaining the needed tables.

* password:

The password for the database user.

* table_prefix:

This table prefix will be at the front of all table names that are
  created and used by Phorum. You only need to change this in case you
  are using the same database for multiple Phorum installations.
  By changing the table prefix you can prevent the tables from the
  installations from colliding. E.g. set the table prefix for one
  installation to "phorum1" and the other to "phorum2".
  Important: never change the table prefix for a running system.

* port:

The mysql (network) port to use. 3306 is the MySQL default.

* socket

The UNIX socket file path to use for the connection. If this one
  is set to a value other than NULL and the server is set to
  "localhost", then Phorum will connect to the MySQL server
  through the provided socket path.

* mysql_php_extension (MySQL-only option):

The MySQL database layer has multiple extesions for supporting
  various MySQL connection types. Options are:
  NULL     : Automatically detect the extension to use.
  "mysql"  : Use the PHP mysql extension (php.ini needs a line like
             "extension=mysql.so" for this to work).
  "mysqli" : Use the PHP mysqli extension (php.ini needs a line like
             "extension=mysqli.so" for this to work).
  "mysqli_replication" : Use the PHP mysqli extension and enable
             master/slave functionality (see below with "slaves")

* slaves (for the mysql_php_extension option "mysqli_replication-only"):

This array can hold a number of slave-servers to use in master/slave mode.
  All write queries will go to the default server above, which is the master-
  server in this setup and read-load will be split randomly over the slave-
  servers specified in this array. If you want your master-server to get read-
  load as well you need to specify it here too.
  Some read-queries will go to the master-server anyway in case they are
  vulnerable to replication-lag.

Example:
    'slaves'=>array(
        array(    // Database connection 1.
        'name'          =>  'phorum5',
        'server'        =>  '192.168.1.5',
        'user'          =>  'phorum5',
        'password'      =>  'phorum5',
        'port'          =>  '3306',
        'socket'        =>  NULL),
        array(    // Database connection 2.
        'name'          =>  'phorum5',
        'server'        =>  '192.168.1.6',
        'user'          =>  'phorum5',
        'password'      =>  'phorum5',
        'port'          =>  '3306',
        'socket'        =>  NULL),
        array(    // Database connection 3.
        'name'          =>  'phorum5',
        'server'        =>  '192.168.1.7',
        'user'          =>  'phorum5',
        'password'      =>  'phorum5',
        'port'          =>  '3306',
        'socket'        =>  NULL)
    )
