RE: [PHP-DB] Whats happening?!

Have seen quite a few examples where the connection variable was not passed nor globalized for MySQL connections... figured that PHP maintained or automaticaly globalized the MySQL connection. Have had to make that change to use the code with postgreSQL (with little other changes) thus the presumption. Have no problems with MySQl other than its lack of transactions and rollback (which are forthcoming I hear)... it is just easier to use one database for all to avoid recoding functions and classes. Appreciate the clarification.

I use mysql at work, and I still have to globalise a connection string to use it in a function. >As far as integrating this into PHP like it is with MySQL.. would be nice. I prefer the mysql functions, they're a bit easier to use over the postgresql functions in php. Slight code changes, but it's annoying. ------------------------ Chris Smith http://www.squiz.net -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
