err... neither!
Originally I had
function dbConnect (){
$link =
mysql_connect("ipaddress","username","password");
}
And what I tried to do was
require('somefile');
who's contents were:
<?
$host = "ipaddress";
$user = "username";
$pass = "password";
?>
and then edit the function on the first file to show
function dbConnect (){
$link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
}
When I saw that this wasn't working, I tried to put the three variable
at the top of the file and it still wouldn't work. I think Dan's on the
case with the IP Address thing ... I'll see what I can do about users
and stuff. I'm running Win2K here :-(
Cheers

You mean you had all this inside a function? Like:
function dbConnect ()
{
$link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
}
?
If so, did you pass $host, $user, and $pass to the function by
global-ing
them like:
function dbConnect ()
{
global $host;
global $user;
global $pass;
$link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
}
-OR-
function dbConnect ($host,$user,$pass)
{
$link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
}

yeah - everything's fine! All the variables are being stored, but
they're not getting passed to mysql_connect() for some really strange
reason!
:-(
I've done a temporary fix - moved the entire database connection
function to a separate file, and required that from the first required
file (!), and it's working, but the original problem has still got me
confused!!!
