[Freerealty] featured.php missing database name?

[Scott Wang]

That's all true, however, getdb() is in the func.php file, right?

Where in common.php or featured.php does it pull in the func.php file?  How
does it know what that function does?

Scott,
Wow. The database connection is setup through the function getdb();
Not only does it set up the user/password combination but selects the
$db database as well and should throw errors if it cannot connect.
If you have the line $link = getdb(); at the top of your files it should
connect. Not sure why it failed for you.... unless getdb() I believe
requires globals.
