Advanced Poll 2.03 Database Error 1046

I am using a page called global functions that contains a header and footer function. for my index page, I call this function to display the top and left (header function) and the right side and bottom (footer) and the index page is just the content for the middle.

I want to place the poll on the right column side but every time i place it in the global functions page i get the database error 1046 - no database selected. If I take my code to call the poll and place it just in the index page and have none of it called up through the global functions page, it works. So I am thinking that it cannot be called in another function for some reason? I have other php code in the global functions that works fine. I have a usersonline script, a script that finds when my last updated file was updated. I have spent hours and hours trying to figure this out.

If you guys cannot help then i will be forced to use some other cheap poll script. There is barely any good poll scripts out there that are free.

my connection code i use is:

Someone who knows what the hell they think i am talking about pleeeeaaaassee help me

Thanks,

n/m guys... i just used a different poll script and edited the script to suit my needs. I was having the same problem with this other script as I had with the Advanced Poll. However, I fixed the problem with this other one and I repeated the same process with the Advanced poll script and still got the same error... drove me nuts.. oh well.. if anyone ever wants to attempt to help me.. maybe i will consider switching back.
