I have a little bit of code for db connecting

If I call this function more than once in the script (e.i. to connect to a 2nd database) php prompts Apache to send an error report using M$ bugreporting in XP.

The code crases using either mysql_pconnect or mysql_connect

//Crashes
function db_hostconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass) {
  $dbh = mysql_pconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass);
  // some code 
  return $dbh;
}

//still crashes
function db_hostconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass) {
  $dbh = mysql_pconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass);
  return $dbh;
}

//works
function db_hostconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass) {
  return mysql_pconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass);
}

It appears to be something with moving the database handle into a variable and then returning the variable.

Thanks.






When running a script that has more than one mysql_connect prompts apache to send an error report (using M$ bug report feature in XP).

Commenting out one of the connections takes care of the problem.
