Variable from different file in function without using global

Question

Ay,

I defined (in config.php):

$mysql = mysqli_connect (..);

for connecting to the mySQL database. now I want to use the variable in my functions (functions.php):

function x () { $fetch = ($mysql, "SELECT ...")); }

without using global:

function x () { global $mysql ... }

any clean ideas (procedural)?

You can e.g. pass the connection resource to your function

function x ($mysqli) { $mysqli->... }
