you could make the connection variable global, but the best bet here is to use a class and create a db object that your functions could call Bastien

Problem I have is that when I connect to a database using mysql_connect($dbhost, $username, $password); and select a table with mysql_select_db($database) I cannot access the table anymore from some function. Now I can connect and select a database in that php function but that means that process happens A LOT and connecting and selecting everytime probably slows down the app quite a bit Is there a way to connect to a database and select a table "globally" so that I have access to it in ever php function I write ? thanks, Ron -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
