Hi, No need to use the database connectivity code in every functions. Connect one time and send that connect object through function parameter. Use the db connectivity code in a separate file. Whenever you want, you can just include once that connectivity file in the top of the file and then send the connect variable/object to function parameter. Example: db_connect.php: $hostname = "host"; $username = "user"; $password = "pwd"; $dbname = "dbname"; $connect = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) or die("Could not connect MySQL server..."); mysql_select_db($dbname, $connect) or die("Could not select Database..."); You can use require_once("db_connect.php"); in your php file where you need the database connectivity. In that file, you call that common functions and send that $connect variable to function parameter. If you don't get the above idea, please inform me. I will try to give you better solution. Thanks.
