Newbie - PHP, Smarty Template, mySQL - how to keep connection when changing page

[fossle]

Hello,

 

I've inherited a project I need to complete (and am brand new to all of this). 

 

Currently, the web site is designed to pull information from a mySQL database using PHP and then put it into a Smarty template.

 

The first page is working correctly now (I did not design this page).  Using PHP and mySQL the fields are appearing correctly in a Smarty template. 

 

Now, I need to add a new page (that will appear in the same window).  When I link to the new page, the information from the database that was appearing on the first page is no longer appearing on the second page.  How do I keep the same session and connection to the database when I change pages?

 

Here is what I have for the second page (I know I am missing something really important):

 

<?php

session_start();

 

include_once('../../config.php');

include_once('player.class.php');

 

$t->display('videopage.tpl');

 

 

?>

 

Thank you,

Kim
