Yeah, but it should be $conn, not conn. PHP treats conn as an unquoted string which evaluates to true, so it's quite possible that your mysql_connect() is failing and you're not detecting it. $ php -r 'if (conn) print "Connected...\n";' Connected... You're not checking that you've managed to open the file - if you've got error_reporting turned down low then you'll miss the warnings from that. You've also got problems with the while($funct_var) loop - that return statement is all that's stopping it looping infinitely and it's still almost certainly not what you want. -robin
