Menu
I have 2 scripts. accessControl.php controls session information, and formNote.php is a form creation script. accessControl is an include in formNote.php, and will be in subsequent pages. The way this should work is that accessControl access a database and then verifies membership, then passes control back to formNote. formNote then accesses a seperate database to get some headers for a drop down menu. For some reason it won’t access the proper database in formNote. it still tries to connect to the first database.
Any ideas?
[code]
<? //formNote.php
session_start();
include ‘db.php’;
include ‘accessControl.php’;
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>MyNotes Entry Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method=”post” action=”procForm.php”>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Topic Title</td>
<td><input type=”text” name=”topicName” size=”50″ maxlength=”50″></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign=”top”>Content</td>
<td><textarea name=”topicBody” rows=”10″ cols=”65″></textarea>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Store Content as</td>
<td>
a Subtopic of Page (or as a New Topic)
<?
dbConnect(“jmcclure_MyNotes”);
$queryA = “SELECT topicId, topicName FROM topicsTable WHERE topicParent = ‘NULL'”;
$result = mysql_query($queryA) or die (error(mysql_error()));
print “<select name=’topicParent’>”;
print “<option value = ‘NULL’>New Page</option>”;
/*while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$topId = $row[‘topicId’];
$topName = $row[‘topicName’];
print “<option value = $topId>$topName</option>”;
}*/
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
print “<option value=”{$row[‘topicId’]}”>{$row[‘topicName’]}</option>n”;
}
?>
