Hi, I'm very new with php, so perhaps it's a silly question.
I want a connection with a mysql database. This works. I can open, retrieve data, and close the database. But this happens in the same page. Now I want one page that has a function who's opening and close the connection. In another page I want include this page. But I don't know the syntax. e.g page connectie.php Function openDB() { $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "host", "pas") or die("geen connectie mogelijk : " . mysql_error()); print "connectie ok"; mysql_select_db("database") or die("geen database gevonden"); } Function closeDB() { mysql_close($link); } End Function ?> <?php page input.php include ('connectie.php'); //open connectie $connectie = openDB(); //code //close connectie $connectie = closeDB(); This gives an error when I want to close the db. In the function I said close($link) but of course he cann't see this variabel. How can I fix that? Alain D'Haene Or is it possible the set the connection in an Object, and use this object during the Session? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
