Thanks!  :-[ I am sure you can tell that I am a noob to php. - I was actually wondering why the code didn't show up in color in the forum. I am surprised though that php doesn't give any warning about including crap/ Thanks again, Janna

Hi, Here is my problem. I have a file called golobals.php that has the following function in it. [code] <php? //connecting to database function dbconnect($host, $user, $passwd, $database) { $link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $passwd);   if ( !$link ) die("Couldn't connect to MYSQL: ".mysql_error());   mysql_select_db($database, $link) or die("Couldn't open database".mysql_error());   return $link; } ?> [/code] In my script I have the following lines [code] <?php session_start(); include_once("globals.php"); ... $DB = dbconnect($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password, $db_database); ... [/code] The error I get is that the function dbconnect is undefined. I have tried to use require function instead but it gives the same result (no errors about failed require). Do I have a problem with the path? (I use 1and1 if it matters) Janna
