Remote file include in PHP Options

[Volland]

I'm trying to include file from other server. It works but the function in that file would not work.
It gives me this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: db_connect() in /home/desig181/public_html/store/temp3.php on line 13

This is the source code of a included file:

<?

function db_connect() {
global $db_host;
global $db_user;
global $db_pass;
global $db_name;

$id_link=@mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass);
if (!$id_link) {
syslog(LOG_ERR, getenv("HTTP_HOST").": db_connect(): can't connect to the host \"{$db_host}\"");
}

if (!mysql_select_db($db_name, $id_link)) {
//syslog(LOG_ERR, getenv("HTTP_HOST").": db_connect(): can't connect to database \"{$db_name}\" on \"{$db_host}\": ".mysql_error($id_link));
mysql_close($id_link);

}

return($id_link);
}

?>

What do you mean by "works"? Is the file being included? How do you know?

but the function in that file would not work.It gives me this error:Fatal error: Call to undefined function: db_connect() in /home/desig181/public_html/store/temp3.php on line 13

This is the source code of a included file:

<?function db_connect() {...

So the file you claim is being included defines a function db_connect(). But you get the error message db_connect() not defined. The simplest conclusion is that the file is _not_ being included.

Can't really help more without more specific details.

If i echo some output in the include file. It would show up.

but the function doesn't initialize as I understand

[Brian Chandler]

What do you mean by "initialize"? Do you mean that the following code:

CODE

echo "<p>Before mystery()";

function mystery()
{   echo "Hi! I'm Mystery";
}

echo "<p>After mystery() - before call";

mystery();

echo "<p>That was mystery()";

...produces the output:

CODE

<p>Before mystery()
<p>After mystery() - before call

*** ERROR: function mystery() not defined ***

If so, report it as a (major!) bug. If not, go back and look more carefully.
