Lines 2 through 21 and 30 are there to make mysql not be a fucking idiot about utf8.
Lines 23 through 28 assume you are using heroku and will have an environment variable
called CLEARDB_DATABASE_URL that contains your database connection details.
Check this out for details on setting up a database on heroku:
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cleardb
Note that I also changed the names of some variables to be more general:
- `$database_egatetif` is now `$database`
- `$egatetif` is now `$db_connection`
