You've come to the right place for help. But rather than hand feed it to you, I'll give you a short function sample that you can play with and learn from.

Code: Select all

function name($arg1,$arg2=TRUE){
   // do whatever you want in here
   mysql_connect("localhost",$arg1,$password)
      or die(mysql_error();
   // maybe echo something
   echo "connected";
   // you can return things in a function
   if($arg2)
      return 4+4;
}
play around with that some and do some tweaking and see what you come up with. If you need more help, you know where to find us :P

Word of warning, the $password variable is just hanging out there, and you're going to have to define it yourself.

*heh guess that's what I get for trying to make someone think things through...was trying something new here

1) in response to dethron: this isn't [SOLVED]...I'd think far from it, it's a start to try and throw some bread crumbs out to make jackie work a little bit and learn in the process.

2) in response to AC (see *)

next time I guess I'll just go back to providing more thorough answers 8O
