If i've got say...

$MYSQL[ 'SERVER' ] = "localhost";
$MYSQL['USERNAME'] = "username" ; 

and i wanted to use it in say...

function db_connect(){
global $MYSQL;
echo $MYSQL['SERVER'];
echo $MYSQL['USERNAME';
} 

wouldn't that work? Cause it's not for me!

[FURY]

$MYSQL['SERVER'] = "localhost";
$MYSQL['USERNAME'] = "username";


function db_connect(){
  global $MYSQL;
  echo $MYSQL['SERVER'];
  echo $MYSQL['USERNAME'];
}

db_connect(); 

That echos localhostusername.

What version of PHP/Platform are you running on?

Also try:

<?PHP
$MYSQL = array();
$MYSQL['SERVER'] = "localhost";
$MYSQL['USERNAME'] = "username";


function db_connect(){
  global $MYSQL;
  echo $MYSQL['SERVER'];
  echo $MYSQL['USERNAME'];
}

db_connect();
