Question

I have this little function do connect to a MySQL database:

function connectSugarCRM() {     $connectorSugarCRM = mysql_connect ('localhost', '123', '123')     or die ('Connection failed');     mysql_select_db('sugar5') or die ('Failed attempt to connect to database');     return $connectorSugarCRM; } 

And then, to run a query, I’m doing something like this, but I allways get an ‘PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare connectSugarCRM() (previously declared in …’, which points to the definition of my function ‘connectSugarCRM’ (line 1).

$ExecuteSQL = mysql_query ($sqlSTR, connectSugarCRM()) or die ('Query Failed!'); 

What is wrong with my code? Thanks
