Sorry, should have been more specific, the declaration is outside a
function, and the link to the database is inside a function, the
complete code of which is as follows:
function db_connect()
{
$result = mysql_pconnect($cfg['servervars']['db_host'],
$cfg['servervars']['db_user'], $cfg['servervars']['db_password']);
if(!result)
return false;
if(!mysql_select_db($cfg['servervars']['db_name']))
return false;
return $result;
}
All variables are stored in a file called config.inc.php, included using
require_once() into every page it is needed for.
The config.inc.php is literally a list of variables with their values
already set, the premise behind this is that I can easily adapt this
setup to any site I am asked to work on...
