MySQL Insert into multiple databases - issue the whole code - php

Question

I wouldn't want to talk too much, here is my code (I know it is not PDO, but it will once it can work). Almost everything working!!!
Now I am doing the logs and I am stuck! - UPDATE thanks to Michael some of it has fixed!
$statresult=mysql_query($statsql, $actconn) or die(mysql_error());
Optimize function too. This is not working with Multiple DB some reason...
The permission doesn't want to be right I have looked hours and I can't figure it out. A part from that everything works beautifully.
The code reads some rows from the real DB and moves them to the backupDB. But I want a cron job and email alert so I did an easy log (into a table) but it doesn't want to work... I can't even see any error log. Well: PHP Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/sites/stcticketing.org/public_html/back/asu1.php on line 34

}
}
else {
test(0, "nothing");
}
// send an email to confirm what's happened - thanks:)
// close db
mysql_close($actconn);
mysql_close($bckconn);
?>
Please fix it first and then comment any PDO unless the solution itself:) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Inside the function that is failing (it is done correctly in the other function db_rows()), your database resource link variables are out of scope. Pass them to the functions as parameters:
For example, pass one in as $connection here:
function test($sqls, $states, $connection){
if ($sqls=1){
$resflag=1;
}
else {
$resflag=0;
}
$statsql="INSERT INTO `web151-tevenyal`.`tex_bcklog` (`what`,`how`,`when`) VALUES ('$states',$resflag,CURDATE());";
echo "<p>".$sqls."<br/>".$statsql."</p>";
$statresult=mysql_query($statsql, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<p>".$states." - ".$resflag."</p>";
$emaltext=$emailtext.$sqls;
}
Then call the function with the correct connection as in:
test($permsql, "grant", $actconn);
