RE: [PHP-DB] Query in a function
take out the db connection and include it seperately in your page
then make $connection global in your function.
or do a if (!$connection) then ($connection=blah blah blah...)

Re: [PHP-DB] Query in a function
How about declaring some of the variables as global variables.

are $server, $user and $pass global variables?
If not, they wouldn't be available inside the function and you'd either
have to make
them global, or pass them to the function.
That could explain why you can't connect...

Re: [PHP-DB] Query in a function
errr maybe
you need to pass the function the values of the variables you are using either by
declaring them global inside the function:
global $server,$user,$pass,$type_id;
or passing them to the function directly:
function type_select($server,$user,$pass,$type_id)
hope this helps :-)

[PHP-DB] Query in a function
Hello
I have a query that I have placed in a function that is in a file that I
"include" in the page to be displayed. It doesn't work. I know that the code
works because when I place the code in the page to be displayed directly it
works fine.
I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help.
John
Here is the function contained in lib.inc:
function type_select()
{
$connection = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);
echo("");
$query1 = "SELECT * FROM type";
$result1 = mysql_db_query($db, $query1, $connection);
echo(!isset($type_id)?"--Please select a
Type--":"");
if(mysql_num_rows($result1) > 0)
{
while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{
$result1_type_id = $row1["type_id"];
$result1_type_desc = $row1["type_description"];
echo("");
echo( $result1_type_desc);
echo("");
}
}
else
{
echo("Error");
}
echo("");
}
And here is the call to that function in the page that is displayed:
include("lib.inc");
?>
http://www.php.net/)
