Thanks Ray. However I've managed to unpick all but one remaining issue which is still being thrown on the results and selected item update page.
Warning: strpos(): Empty needle in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/web/Kb4/Connections/nihCONN3.php on line 15
The routine which commences line 15 is as follows;
if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]),strtolower($domainCheck)) !== false && ($domainCheck == "" || strpos(strtolower($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]),strtolower($domainCheck)) == strlen($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"])-strlen($domainCheck))) {
$hostname_nihCONN3 = "192.168.100.3";
$database_nihCONN3 = "****";
$username_nihCONN3 = "****";
$password_nihCONN3 = "****";
$foundConnection = true;
}
