Yes, but i want the database information to be used site wide, for user signup etc. therefore if i use a session, that will only work on one user

Professional cms systems use a file they place in the root directory of the cms, if you take e.g. php-fusion there is a file named config.php where the database login information is stored within. Sorry, I can't tell you how files are read and written. I don't know .php.

hmm, yer the problem is that if i use a file to store all the data to connect to a database in a PHP file, it cannot be written in through a user input form.

It sure can. Maybe looking at an excerpt of the setup.php of php-fusion will help you:
if ($step == "1") {
$db_host = stripinput($_POST['db_host']);
$db_user = stripinput($_POST['db_user']);
$db_pass = stripinput($_POST['db_pass']);
$db_name = stripinput($_POST['db_name']);
$db_prefix = stripinput($_POST['db_prefix']);
$config = "<?php
// database settings
"."$"."db_host="."\"".$_POST['db_host']."\"".";
"."$"."db_user="."\"".$_POST['db_user']."\"".";
"."$"."db_pass="."\"".$_POST['db_pass']."\"".";
"."$"."db_name="."\"".$_POST['db_name']."\"".";
"."$"."db_prefix="."\"".$_POST['db_prefix']."\"".";
define("."\""."DB_PREFIX"."\"".", "."\"".$_POST['db_prefix']."\"".");
?>";
$temp = fopen("config.php","w");
if (!fwrite($temp, $config)) {
echo $locale['430']."\n</td></tr>\n</table>\n";
fclose($temp);
exit;
}
fclose($temp);
