Hey folks, little problem here....

I guess best way to describe is by showing:

On http://www.basementquestions.com/ on the right hand column I have a heavily modified version of evo-topsites running that randomly displays the site sponsors. All and good.

The sister site (http://www.basementquestionsandanswers.com/index.php) runs in a subdirectory of above and shares various databases. I want(ed) to add the banners on the vb forumhome page, BUT when I activate it through a plugin I get:

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /xxx/bannerdisplay/admin/config.php on line 2
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /xxx/bannerdisplay/admin/config.php on line 3
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /xxx/bannerdisplay/admin/config.php on line 4
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /xxx/bannerdisplay/admin/config.php on line 5
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /xxx/bannerdisplay/admin/config.php on line 7
mySQL WARNING!
DB Error : mySQL database ()cannot be used
More Information:

Mysql Error : No Database Selected

Date : October 9, 2007, 11:00 pm
Referer: http://www.basementquestionsandanswers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=25
Script: /index.php


Anyone have any ideas on this. Thanx :confused:

Edit - except for the images, the script does work at
http://www.basementquestions.com/forum/includes/sponsors/display.php
http://www.basementquestionsandanswers.com/includes/sponsors/display.php
AND
will work if I copy the plugin into a php file:
http://www.basementquestionsandanswers.com/includes/sponsors/tmp.php

:confused:

Rather than delete the post, I found the answer...

The problem was that vb as well as the banner script was using $db for database. I am not sure, but suspect that vb was maintaining a persistent connection through $db and so my other script would not work.

Changed all the $db in the other script to $datab and all the errors went away :D

Thanx for the help anyway ;)
