problem with includes

[felito]

hi

 

This problem is the most strange thing that i seen in the last times.

this code works

<?php 
function conecta () {
$host = "localhost";
$senha = "vertrigo";
$login = "xxx";
$database = "emprego";
$conexao = mysql_connect($host,$login,$senha) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database,$conexao)or die;
}

conecta ();

//more
?>

 

but this doesn't work

<?php 
require("includes/f_banco.php");
conecta ();

?>

 

I never seen something like that. Any ideia? the paths are correct, the bd is correct and the query works when i put the function conecta() directly in the php file.

 

Thanks

What exactly do you mean by "doesn't work"? Do you get an error?

place this at the top of your script run it, and tell us more explicit what is not working:

<?php error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1); ?>

to avoid to put all code in post i will add this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5615333/problem-in-a-validation-form-php

 

i am the fel.

 

I don't have any error. The only thing that i know is: with the function conecta() inside the file the query works fine. With the require or include (none error is given so i think the path is correct) the query returns something different than the massage that must retrieve.

 

I don't have any idea how i can solve that. I obviously want to avoid to include explicitly the db config in the file.
