Re: Weird Problem In mysql_connect();

JH has it right - your function has no idea what $host, $user, and $pass are, because they're out of scope. Add the global statements that Jonathan suggested inside your dbConnect function, and all will be well. Dave Watkinson wrote:

function dbConnect (){ $link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass); }

And Jonathan Hilgeman correctly recommended:

function dbConnect () { global $host; global $user; global $pass; $link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass); }
