mysql_result in a function

[wolfrahm]

Hello, I have a problem retrieving a random string from my database when placed in a function. Outside the function, it works fine. The function looks something like this:

function word($i)
{
$conword = mysql_result($con[$i], rand(0,mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $conname[$i]")));
echo $conword;
}

You're not passing the database info in the function.

i.e.

function word($i,$dbname, $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbtable){

Then connect to the db inside the function, the way you did it ouside.
