HELP - Issue with Functions and mysql connect

Hi Guys,

I am having issues with this bit of code:

I keep getting this error on the line of code I have made bold.

    function get_proxy()
    {
        require_once('../Connections/Proxys.php');
        mysql_connect($hostname_Proxys, $username_Proxys, $password_Proxys) or die(mysql_error());
        mysql_select_db($database_Proxys) or die(mysql_error());

        $sql = "SELECT address
                FROM proxy
                ORDER BY rand()
                LIMIT 1";
        $q = mysql_query($sql);
        $r = mysql_fetch_array($q);
        if (empty($r) || empty($r["address"]))
        {
            echo 'You have run out of proxys. <a href="addproxys.php">Click Here</a> to add some more.';
            die;
        }
        return $r["address"];
    }   

    function delete_proxy($address)
    {
            require_once('../Connections/Proxys.php');
        mysql_connect($hostname_Proxys, $username_Proxys, $password_Proxys) or die(mysql_error());
        mysql_select_db($database_Proxys) or die(mysql_error());
        $sql = "DELETE FROM proxy WHERE address = '" . mysql_escape_string($address) . "'";
        mysql_query($sql);
    }

PHP:

Can anybody help?

 

Find the require_once include../Connections/Proxys.php, and be sure the variable $hostname_Proxys is initialized to a proper string (localhost?) and is spelled correctly with proper case!

 

The variable $hostname_Proxys is not set, set it within the file ../Connections/Proxys.php to resolve the issue.

 

hostname_Proxys ( variable ) isn't preset ( you need to create it ) or is a local variable ( you need to make it global ).
