Database Handles

Hi, I have a situation where I need to connect to two different databases. I find that if I open the handle to database ABC, then open handle to database XYZ, when it goes to call FunctionB, it thinks it's using handle 1 for database ABC but I get the error that it can't find the table XYZ.TABLENAME - it should be looking for ABC.TABLENAME; Here is the pseudocode: <? require("dbfunctions.inc"); // db wrapper functions // main routine $db = db_connection("ABC"); // Database ABC $code = FunctionA(); // Inside function A, it creates a second DB handle to Database XYZ $price = FunctionB($code, $db); // Inside function B, it uses the first DB handle for database ABC // I do more with $db to database ABC, hence I leave it open FunctionA() { $db2 = db_connection("XYZ"); // Database XYZ .... do some querying ... db_close($db2); // Close handle to the second database } FunctionB($code, $db) { .... do some querying .... } ?> Theoretically this should work. I find that if I go into FunctionA first, without creating the first handle to database ABC, and then after FunctionA create the first handle to ABC, it works. I am using persistant connections mysql_pconnect(); - maybe that's got something to do with it. I'm using version 4.0.2 of PHP Sam
