hi
i am little confused as to what you mean by 'extension' and assume that 
you mean php script or file.
if this assumption is correct, read further else ignore!
you can use the following two php functions to do so..
	$db_link=mysql_connect("hostname","username","password");
	$db_connect=mysql_select_db("dbname",$db_link);
hostname can be put as "localhost"
hope this helps. Check out the php manual at www.php.net for further 
details.
cheers!
