 Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 2
 PHP Version:      5.2.5
 New Comment:

I can't reproduce this.  Here is my code:


connection.cfg.php
<?
$MySQL_DatabaseName = "mysql";
?>

test.php
<?
include("connection.cfg.php");
connect();

function connect() {
 global $MySQL_DatabaseName;
 mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "########");
 mysql_select_db($MySQL_DatabaseName);

$row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user"),
MYSQL_ASSOC) or die(mysql_error());
print_r($row);
}

?>

It prints out exactly as expected.  I am using PHP 5.2.5 on RHEL5.

I've executed:

echo $MySQL_DatabaseName . PHP_EOL;

After calling to connect() and it prints out "foo", the value of
$MySQL_DatabaseName.

What do you get if you do:

echo $MySQL_DatabaseName . PHP_EOL;

right after your connect() ?

Just in case, these are the versions of the server components being
used at the moment:

PHP Version 5.2.5
MySQL 5.0.46
Apaache 2.2.6

Description:
------------
When calling a function to connect to MySQL, while supplying a database
name for mysql_select_db() through a variable defined at an include
file, the database is not selected.

Reproduce code:
---------------
## connection.cfg.php says:
<?
$MySQL_DatabaseName = "foo";
?>

## main.php says:
<?
include("connection.cfg.php");
connect();

function connect() {
 global $MySQL_DatabaseName;
 mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "########");
 mysql_select_db($MySQL_DatabaseName);

$row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM footable WHERE ID =
1"), MYSQL_ASSOC) or die(mysql_error());
print_r($row);
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Expected result is to obtain a view of the row's data through the
print_r() function.

Actual result:
--------------
mysql_error() prints: "No database selected".
PHP warns mysql_fetch_array() has been given an invalid MySQL result
resource.
