So passing the $link variable may, indeed, mean that a variable named $link with the same value will show up in the next page; however, since you're now on a completely new invocation of the PHP engine, the actual server link to which the identifier referred is now gone. In other words, it won't work. Why would you want to do that, anyway? If you want to access the server again, just connect again; if you want to avoid the overhead of creating a new link on each and every page load, use mysql_pconnect() as documented. What result are you going for here? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> Netmill iTech| |http://www.coastnet.com/~torben http://www.netmill.fi| |Ph: 1 250 383-9735 torben@netmill.fi| +----------------------------------------------------------------+
