global variables &classes

[Naug]

K I read an old thread dedicated to this but didnt find answer there so starting a new one just for myself 😃

At present Im using

class Object{

   function Object(){
    global $db;
    ........
   }
   function newFunction(){
    global $db;
    ........
   }

etc...
}

My question is if it is possible to allow each function use global $db without declaring it in each function or this->db=$db in constructor?

I don't think so. Variables are scoped to the function unless declared global, which isn't a bad thing. You can pass the variable to the function of course. It seems there should be a way to scope a variable to the class, but everything I try breaks it 🙁
