note 30243 added to function.mysql-connect

Just in case you didn't know. You can use mysql_connect in a function to connect to a database and the connection is a super-global... meaning you can use mysql_query in other functions or in no function at all and PHP will use the connection that you opened. This is a handy bit of knowledge that helps if you have a large site with lots of scripts. If you create one function to connect to a db, and call that function in all your scripts, it makes for easier code maintenance since you only have to update one line of code to change your mysql connection instead of updating all your scripts individually. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30243 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30243 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30243
