Yeah, but it should be $conn, not conn.
PHP treats conn as an unquoted string which evaluates to true, so it's
quite possible that your mysql_connect() is failing and you're not
detecting it.
$ php -r 'if (conn) print "Connected...\n";'
Connected...
You're not checking that you've managed to open the file - if you've
got error_reporting turned down low then you'll miss the warnings from
that.
You've also got problems with the while($funct_var) loop - that return
statement is all that's stopping it looping infinitely and it's still
almost certainly not what you want.
