No Database Connection possible (mySQL)

["Aviation Coding" <aviationcoder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am having problems with a connection to a mysql database.

I am using

----
function con()
{
mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("tava") or die(mysql_error());
}
----

Now, when I call the _function_ (!)
----
con() or die("no con");
----
I get the "no con" output.

When I call the mysql_connect and mysql_select directly before executing a
query, I get some DB output. But that won't work when I am using the
function...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Chris
