I would actively discourage you from using this plugin now as I think Perch has <a href="http://docs.grabaperch.com/v1/custom/" title="Perch custom tags" rel="nofollow">this functionality built in</a>. Cheers. Hi Lee,

At the end of the queryDB function you have: <code>return mysql_fetch_assoc($result); mysql_close($link);</code> If the function is returning on the line above, does the MySQL close call get called? But it's a great plugin and helpful for something I want to achieve with Perch.

The support you guys give really makes Perch a pleasure to use. Struggled to see why you would want to extract shared regions, due to their being accessible on all pages, but now I'm dumbfounded I didn't think of it before. Drew : Really appreciate the help.
