mysql() ???

phigga

hi all,

I've been doing mysql work with php for a lil' while now, and I just came across some open source code that uses the mysql() function. i can't find this function in any documentation...it seems like it takes 2 param's, the first being maybe a table or db identifier, and the second being a query.

anyone else know about this one, and where i might find docs?

gracias...

Are you sure that code you have doesn't have a function called mysql()? The person who wrote it probably wrote a mysql wrapper so that he/she wouldn't have to type so much to query the database. I do this with all of my code, it makes maintaining it much easier, I only have to look in one place if I'm having a database connection issue.

I would think this was the case, but i've looked everywhere for it. I've scoured the code, done grep searches, everything, and still i can't find what the heck this thing is.

here's the start of some code from an index.php page:

<pre>
require("Cart.php");
DBinfo();
Brand();
Root();
mysql_connect("$DBHost","$DBUser","$DBPass");
$old=date("z")-1;
mysql("$DBName","DELETE FROM Users WHERE Date < $old");
</pre>

now, the only file that's getting called is Cart.php, and there's NOTHING regarding mysql there. those function calls do nothing but make some variables global.

so where does this call to mysql() come from???

i'd grep the code for "mysql("

otherwise replace "mysql(" with "mysql_db_query("

yup....

grep "mysql(" *

only returned instances where the function was being called (no instances of the function being initialized).
