  1. I am trying to write a function in a file that will lookup a value in mysql and return it.  I want to put this function into a php file to be included in another page.  On the main page, I would use a query like this and it works fine: mysql_select_db($database_workorder, $workorder); $query_rst_org2 = "select org_name from org where org_id = $orgid"; $rst_org2 = mysql_query($query_rst_org2, $workorder) or die(mysql_error()); $row_rst_org2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($rst_org2); $totalRows_rst_org2 = mysql_num_rows($rst_org2); When I try this in the included file it fails with this error: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/u4//html/lookup2.php on line 34 line 34 is this line: mysql_select_db($database_workorder, $workorder); doesn't the include function basically paste the code into the calling page?  and if so shouldnt all of the vars that are available in the calling page be available to the code that is being called in the include page? obviously my approach is flawed, can someone please explain? thanks Jason
