hi i have been working all day on getting this var to pass to another function but it will not..

in my website config i have


i want to use the $link var and $db in another file in another function

so i have tried to set   and the other one in my config then ref it by
in the file i want to use it in but it wont ass

i have also tried
$link=mysql_connect($GLOBAL['$xxxNST_DB_HOST']): blah blah and so on  format but still wont

so how do i grab this var in this function and use it please..

ok so i read the global var sticky but im still sort of lost, since that var is set in my config file im guessing that i can just use REQUEST to grab $link at the top of my php file that i want to use it in....

i can  just put the string in my php file just as it is in the config but the problem is im getting a error when i do that.  this is why i was thinking i needed to make it global

  the xxxxx is my site root dir name

rest of the site works fine no login issues with the site or lp at all, just this call is all

Neither global_session('$link'); nor $GLOBALS['$link'] is going to work, because your variable is inside single quotes. I'm not sure if $link is already a string value, in which case you could simply drop the quotes, or it needs to be in double quotes ". In ", the value for the variable will be substituted; in ' it probably is just staying as the literal string "$link". Anyway, the first thing to try is changing ' to ".

When you say you're trying "to pass it to another function", is that on another page or just in another file that's being included or required on this page? In the latter case, simply global $link; might do the job.

1. can you provide you code so we can help you better

2. don't forget to define the session $link in the global inside the function in order to use the param in or out...

Cheers,
