Ok i have several includes that are connecting to my forum database to pull recent posts and news. Ive got another include that is connecting to another database that has a table for tutorial and article pages that I want to display. The problem im getting is that, without using mysql\_close, the tutorial script is looking in the forum database, so im guessing that the connection is staying open. When i put mysql\_close at the end of each script it only runs the first include and the next one says database not found. Can someone help plz;)
