No Database Connection possible (mySQL)

Hi all,

I am having problems with a connection to a mysql database.

I am using


function con()
{
mysql_connect("localhost","user","pass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("tava") or die(mysql_error());
}


Now, when I call the _function_ (!)

con() or die("no con");

I get the "no con" output.

When I call the mysql_connect and mysql_select directly before executing a
query, I get some DB output. But that won't work when I am using the
function

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Chris
