Re: problems with functions/included files/mysql resource

Hi, > > In the function to connect to and select the database, I make the mysql-link > resource a global value. It sounds like you've misunderstood 'global' variable. The global statement needs to go inside the function where you want to use the variable, not where you assign it. This tells that function to access that variable from the global scope. You will need to have this variable available at the global scope. Creating it inside another function will not do, you must return that from the function to the global scope too e.g. <?php $db = new mysql; ... some code ... function UseDb() { global $db; ... some more code ... } ?> Niel
