PEAR DB, cannot instantiate DB::connect

[lonod]

Hello everyone,

I was wonerding if anybody has a problem that when you try
and instantiate DB class it just returns a blank page ... my code is

function session() {
1. $this->oConn =& DB::connect(DSN);
2. if (DB::isError($this->oConn) ) {
3. catchExc($this->_oConn->getMessage());
4. }
}

I have the code in a class function, the class is supposed to authenticate a user and create a session, but when I try and instantiate the class and the program gets to line 1 I just get a blank.
has anyone had this problem before ??

Thanks
Ralph
