globals

HOWEVER! would setting the $link to my database be one thing that I prolly should use a GLOBAL scope for? In my setting of (lots of functions)...it seems as though having only one variable that is on the global scope would be wise.

I am currently using the functions to transfer it back and forth so that way I do not have it on global...but it is a bit of a hinder to my script.

Please Advise,

Thank you. Matt
