Here's one for the IT guru's ...

What do I do, if within a php page I am referencing different tables within the same SQL db, but they have different prefixes.

Example...

Pulling news on an index page from a CMS...

I use php includes (external files) for each of the references.

The second and third includes pull data from a forum, and the tables have different prefixes.

When it looks for the table, it has the prefix in front of if from the previous include.

Does this make any sense, and is there a way around it?

I use chdir commands obviously where necessary, but is there like a change table type command?
