[RESOLVED] Function syntax

[zzz]

I'm trying to get some code into a function. It works as a code but not as a function. What am I doing wrong here:

function dropIssues($PID,$path,$b) {
	if ($issues = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM t1	WHERE issue= ".$PID." "))
	{
		echo "<script language='JavaScript1.2' src='".$path."incl/js/dropjump.js'></script>
		<form action='' method=get>
		<select name=choice size=1 onChange='jump(this.form)'>
		<option>Please select issue";				
		foreach ($issues as $issue)
		{
			if ($issue->issue_onlinestatus == 'ON') {
			  	echo "<option value='?b=".$b."&PID=".$PID."&iID=".$issue->issue_id."'>Vol.".$issue->issue_volume."&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No.".$issue->issue_number;
				if ($issue->issue_supplement  == 'Y') { 
					echo "&nbsp;(supplement)"; 
				}
				echo "</option>";
			}
		} // foreach <<--
 		echo "</select></form>";
	}
}

it doesnt know what the object $db is because it wasnt passed into the function. try putting global $db; just inside the function and then i think it will be one step closer.

Dah! Not noticing the obvious is my specialty!
