I have a file of my own functions that I include in many places. One
of them uses mysql_real_escape_string, however, it may be called in a
context that will or will not connect to a mysql server, and worse,
may already be connected. So I must avoid connecting. However, when I
run the script without connecting I get this error:

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string()
[function.mysql-real-escape-string]: Access denied for user:
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO)

I was thinking about checking if there is a connection, and if not
then connecting. This seems redundant to me, however. What is the
list's opinion of this situation? Thanks in advance.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
