Re: [PHP-DB] referencing external functions
You can have that happen even with this code. If they limit the max_connections, then the only thing you can do is to manage the connections the best you can. OPen and close then for the bare minimum time. Create the SQL, then open the connection, process it, get the resultback and close the link. bastien From: "J.

RE: [PHP-DB] referencing external functions
the error tells me that the files are not in the same dir...I have run into
this one as well and it was always that case.
Your usage is off though...What you need to do is to include the
functions.php page and then call a particular function..also any error
handling should be with the function itself
I handle mine a little differentlytry this:
//echo "commnecing connection to local db";
if (!($conn=mysql_connect($host, $username, $pwd))) {
printf("error connecting to DB by user = $username and pwd=$pwd");
exit;
}
$db3=mysql_select_db($dbname,$conn) or die("Unable to connect to local
database");
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Can't connect because ".
mysql_error());
return $result;
}//end function
?>
Then I include the function like this
require("conn.php");
$sql = "select * from table";
$result = conn($sql); //runs the query and passes back the result
if ($result){
//do something here
}
?>
In your case...i changed your code somewhat
function links() {
//global $link;
$sql = "select * from jozef_links";
$link = connect(); //call the connect function to create the link
$result = mysql_query($sql, $link) or die (mysql_error());
echo "";
while ($array = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $array['link_name'];
$url= $array['link_url'];
echo "$id\n";
}
echo "";
}
?>

Sorry if this is a duplicate. I accidentally sent to the listserve from the
wrong address.
I am having trouble calling external functions. I am trying to use this to
clean up the code in the display. I have this as the function.php
function links() {
global $link;
$sql = "select * from jozef_links";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $link) or die (mysql_error());
echo "";
while ($array = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $array['link_name'];
$url= $array['link_url'];
echo "$id\n";
}
echo "";
}
?>
and am trying to use it in this links3.php
but I keep getting the error message
*Warning*: main(1): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
*C:\Accounts\dbadream\wwwRoot\links3.php* on line *4*
*Warning*: main(): Failed opening '1' for inclusion
(include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in
*C:\Accounts\dbadream\wwwRoot\links3.php* on line *4*
Can anyone explain what is wrong. Both files are in the same directory and
and both have the normal permissions set to access.
Thanks,
jzf

try the absolute path and try require_once() instead of include().
Also "or die (mysql_error());" is not going to get you anything. That
is the text of the error message from previous MySQL operation.
