Sigh ... I have "functions.inc" in which I have Table_Title().
As soon as I put my database connection inside my function called Table_Title(), my database connection fails. (See second example below.) My database connection works fine whenever IT IS NOT inside "function Table_Title()". (See first example below.) It seems that when I try to connect to my database inside "function Table_Title()", my function cannot read the values of $server, $user, $pass, "$db or $table ??? I call it normally?? <?php Table_Title() ?> Can anyone help?? --------------SNIP THIS WORKS FINE! -------------------- <?php $server = "localhost"; $user = "MyAccount"; $pass = "MyPassword"; $db = "MyDatabase"; $table = "bookmark_unit4"; $myconnection = mysql_pconnect($server,$user,$pass); mysql_select_db($db,$myconnection); $news = mysql_query("SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM ".$db." LIKE '$table'"); while ($news_story = mysql_fetch_array($news)) { $table_comment = $news_story['Comment']; } echo $table_comment; function Table_Title() { echo "Nothing"; } ?> -------------- SNIP THIS DOES NOT WORK -------------------- <?php $server = "localhost"; $user = "MyAccount"; $pass = "MyPassword"; $db = "MyDatabase"; $table = "bookmark_unit4"; function Table_Title() { $myconnection = mysql_pconnect($server,$user,$pass); mysql_select_db($db,$myconnection); $news = mysql_query("SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM ".$db."
