# b2functions.php

 * The current WordPress beta does not have the dbconnect() function in the b2functions
   file, which causes the b2archives.php to fail.
    Fix: copy the old b2 function
   over: function dbconnect() { global $connexion, $server, $loginsql, $passsql,
   $base; $connexion = mysql_connect($server,$loginsql,$passsql) or die(“Can’t connect
   to the database server. MySQL said:“.mysql_error()); $connexionbase = mysql_select_db(“
   $base”) or die(“Can’t connect to the database $base. MySQL said:“.mysql_error());
   return(($connexion && $connexionbase)); }

 * Actually b2archives.php is going to be removed from the .71 release because it
   is made obsolete by the much more flexible get_archives function.

 * Okay, I was upgrading from b2 and noticed this.
