So something like this?
function database_connection() {
global = $cfg['hostname'],$cfg['username'],$cfg['password'];
@mysql_connect($cfg['hostname'],$cfg['username'],$cfg['password']);
@mysql_select_database($cfg['database']); }Or could I do an entire array like so...
function database_connection() {
global = $cfg;
@mysql_connect($cfg['hostname'],$cfg['username'],$cfg['password']);
@mysql_select_database($cfg['database']); }??? Stupid question I know...

$cfg['hostname'] = "www.server.com"; // Server domain or ip address $cfg['username'] = "username"; // Database user name $cfg['password'] = "password"; // Database password $cfg['bugemail'] = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
Then do something like this:
function database_connection() { @mysql_connect($cfg[hostname],$cfg[username],$cfg[password]); @mysql_select_database($cfg[database]); }
1) You have to declare $cfg as a global variable in your data_connection() function. PHP differs from C with respect to how you access global variables from within functions. Read about global variables here http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
2) Make sure you always quote string constants, even when used as
array indexes.
