$connection  =  DB::connect("mysql://$db_username:$db_password@$db_host/$db_database");
if  (
DB::isError($connection)){
die  ("Could  not  connect  to  the  database:  <br  />".  DB::errorMessage($connection));
}
$title_id  
=  $_GET["title_id"];
$user_id  =  'mdavis';
$query  =  "INSERT  INTO  `purchases`  VALUES  (NULL,'$user_id',$title_id,NULL)";
$result  =  $connection->query($query);
if  (
DB::isError($result)){
die("Could  not  query  the  database:  <br  />".  $query."  ".DB::errorMessage($result));
