Hello, Is it wrong to have mysql_connect() called twice within a single PHP document, such as this? I have been running into some fairly annoying query failures that commute when I change the order of these two blocks of code. I am currently working around this by repeatedly using mysql_select_db() to change the databases as I am needing to change to a different database. To be more specific, I can use the $db_material handle in doing a query, but it will always try to search in the Labor_Log table and thus fail because the tables have different and names. Swapping these blocks will have a vice-versa effect. //Connect to server (materials) $db_material = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "secret"); if (!$db_material) { echo( "<P>Unable to connect to the database server at this time.</P>" ); exit(); } mysql_select_db("Material_Log", $db_material); //Connect to server (labor) $db_labor = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "secret"); if (!$db_labor) { echo( "<P>Unable to connect to the database server at this time.</P>" ); exit(); } mysql_select_db("Labor_Log", $db_labor); Tim Legg -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
