I tried that but it still did the same. I was thinking maybe
register_globals is set to off. I didnt set up the server and I guess if
that is the case it would not work?

Would it be better to use a _REQUEST var for the db_link as follows:

$_REQUEST["db_link"] = mysql_connect(...);

This seems to work exactly how I would like, but are there any knock on
effects/problems if I do this?

Thanks for the help

Andy.
