I have three files:
adodb.inc.php - a database abstract class
soldier_db.inc.php - a specific include for the databases I am working
with
index.php - a page that displays lots of different things...
soldier_db.inc.php has the include line for adodb.inc.php and establishes a
connection to a mysql batabase called $connection
index.php includes soldier_db.inc.php and then tries to use some of the
class elements from adodb.inc.php and $connection **from**
soldier_db.inc.php
The debugging shows the connection as valid while echoing from the
soldier_db.inc.php but dead when echoing from the index.php
for example, this code reports "OK" while in the soldier_db.inc.php but
"Dead" in the index.php portion.... exact same code, soldier_db.inc.php
included above this code in index.php
if (!$connection) {
echo "Dead";
}
else {
echo "OK";
}
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? None of these items are in
functions, so I guess I wouldn't think that it's a globals issue. (and I've
tried establishing $connection as a global variable to no change in results)
If anyone wants the code itself, I'll pull it out and send it.
Thanks in advance,
John
