return a recordset

[otuatail]

functions.php

function readconfig()
{
	$sqlReadConfig = "SELECT * FROM whatadrama_config";
	$qReadConfig = mysql_query($sqlReadConfig) or die ("E201-100A");
	$rs = mysql_fetch_array($qReadConfig) or die ("E201-100B");
	//echo $rs[0] . " - " . $rs[1]  . " - " . $rs[2] . " - " . $rs[3]; // *** This works fine ***
	//exit;
	return $rs;
}


webpage.php

<?
$rs = readconfig();
echo $rs[0];
?>

I can read the contents of a table in my functions file but when I comment out the reading code and return $rs; I can't read it in the main web page.

Assuming all the obvious problems are just a result of how you made your post,

 

How about using a full <?php open tag?

[otuatail]

Ok Thanks. I don't always use use the full <?php ?> and things have worked. It does work now.

 

Sudenly realised. I normaly use <?php at the top of my pages. Left it out this time so it must have got confused.

You should also look into changing mysql_query to either mysqli or PDO.
