Re: Using include file

I pasted your code into a file testinclude.php (changing only the server name), then wrote another file test.php: <? include('testinclude.php'); ?> It parses okay for me. How are you doing the include? -Steve On Friday, April 12, 2002, at 03:02 PM, Alex Francis wrote:

I get a parse error on line 2. The code is as follows: <? $server = "mysql.xcalibre.co.uk"; $user = "user"; $passwd = "password"; $dbname = "rschool"; $tablename1 = "story"; $tablename2 = "guestbook"; $tablename3 = "drawing"; $tablename4="notices"; $link = mysql_connect ($server, $user, $passwd); ?> As I said, when I paste the code into each file I don't have a problem. -- Alex Francis Cameron Design 35, Drumillan Hill Greenock PA16 0XD Tel 01475 798106 afrancis@camerondesign.co.uk http://www.camerondesign.co.uk This message is sent in confidence for the addressee only.

Just a guess: Are you doing the include from a function? If so, make sure you explicitly mark your global vars. Otherwise, what's the error message? -Steve On Friday, April 12, 2002, at 12:28 PM, Alex Francis wrote:

I have one site which I am having problems connecting to my database. If I create my connections in an "include" config file I get an error on the server connection. When I cut and paste the code exactly as it is into each file I have no problems. I have a local server set up in my office which I use to test my databases and scripts and have a slightly different config file on that one. The include file works fine. I have various other sites using "include" config files and have had no problems, but this one is a pain, I have to change each file when I move it mrom my test server to my hosting server. Any help would be appreciated. -- Alex Francis Cameron Design 35, Drumillan Hill Greenock PA16 0XD Tel 01475 798106 afrancis@camerondesign.co.uk http://www.camerondesign.co.uk This message is sent in confidence for the addressee only.
