[snip] Ok, this ended up working well. I'm still wondering why in my example function two() works, without needing to provide the resource identifier to mysql_query(), how can mysql_query() pick up the resource identifier automatically while mysql_list_fields does not? [/snip]
>From http://www.php.net/mysql_query "mysql_query() sends a query to the currently active database on the server that's associated with the specified link identifier. -->If link_identifier isn't specified, the last opened link is assumed.<-- If no link is open, the function tries to establish a link as if mysql_connect() was called with no arguments, and use it. The result of the query is buffered." mysql_list_fields() does not automagically use the "last opened link" -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
