I'm trying to add a custom script that needs to access database i set global like in account.php but gives me "can not connect " message, if i add in data manually it works fine. this is for a module i'm working on.

is $db_info['host'] the correct request ?
gave $db['host'] too no luck

sample
[code]
function loadto() {
global $nav, $config, $db, $client;

$conn=mysql_connect($db_info['host'];, $db_info['user'], $db_info['pass']);
mysql_select_db($db_info['dbname']) or die("unable to connect");

}
[/code]

if this custom script is a module, it is not necessary to connect to the database because you should already be connected.

yep. you don't need to connect separately. :)

ahh ok thanks was so simple was trying to use wrong query string [code]".tb()."accounts "."" [/code]
without .tb(). my bad lol
