Hello, To answer these qwestions: 1. I am using "include" in my code. 2. About the "$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'testing');" variable. I can just include this line before mysql_query function and it works even without entering into mysql_query the "$link" variable. (Like the connection is waking up). 3.My php.ini register_globals is off as suggested for new versions of PHP but include file should work instead according to the manual. 4. I am posting some of my code to compare. Module "carmade.php" works v.s. "login.php" which does not. Also, I am posting my "database.php" which is establishing the connection and is included in every page through "layout.php"->"common.php"->"database.php". carmade.php: <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/layout.php'; // Quick Login session check login_check(); switch($_REQUEST['req']){ // Insert Case case "create_carmade": myheader("Добавяне на автомобилни марки в списъка"); // Double check form posted values are there // before performing INSERT query if(!$_POST['car_descr']){ echo '<p align="center">Липсва информациятя от формата!</p>'. '<p align="center">Моля, използвайте бутона'. 'Назад и въведете данните отново!</p>'; footer(); exit(); } // Insert Query $sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO carmade (car_descr) VALUES('{$_POST['car_descr']}')"); // Insert query results if(!$sql){ echo "Грешка при въвеждане на данните:".mysql_error(); } else { echo '<p align="center">Марката "'.$_POST['car_descr']. '"е въведена<br/>с номер:'.mysql_insert_id(); echo '<br /> /admin/carmade.php?req=new_carmade Искате ли да'. 'въведете друга марка? '; } break; // Create car made form case case "new_carmade": myheader("Въвеждане на нова автомобилна марка"); include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/html/forms/carmade_insert.html'; footer(); break; default: myheader("Администриране на списъка с автомобилните марки"); include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

'/layout.php'; switch($_REQUEST['req']){ case "validate": $validate = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE username = '{$_POST['username']}' AND password = md5('{$_POST['password']}')" ); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($validate); if($num_rows == 1){ while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($validate)){ $_SESSION['login'] = true; $_SESSION['userid'] = $row['member_id']; $_SESSION['first_name'] = $row['first_name']; $_SESSION['last_name'] = $row['last_name']; $_SESSION['email_address'] = $row['email_address']; if($row['admin_access'] == 1){ $_SESSION['admin_access'] = true; } $login_time = mysql_query("UPDATE members SET last_login=now() WHERE id='{$row['id']}'"); } header("Location: /loggedin.php"); } else { myheader("Входът в административната зона е неуспешен!"); echo '<p align="center">Входът в страницата не е успешен!</p>'; echo '<p align="center">Проверете потребителското си '. 'име и паролата си и опитайте пак или се '. 'обадете на администратора.</p>'; footer(); } break; default: myheader("Вход!"); include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

I doubt that your php.ini is the cause so I'll suggest the following: Try executing your MySQL queries by passing the $link variable to the function as the connection resource: mysql_query("SELECT...", $link); Something that also might cause it is that you use (include|require)_once and that this module doesn't have access to the connection resource, if this is the case change it into include|require and see if that solves your issue. If not then could you please post some example code of your module if possible so we can be more helpful? Also be sure that you global $link; it in functions (I don't know if this required since I didn't use it this way for a long while). Could you also please answer to the list instead of directly to me as this might also be informative for others. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PHP-MySQL-connection-for-particular-module-tp17915108p17990192.html Sent from the Php - Database mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
