global variables problem

[hermzz]

If have a login script with username and password. I also have an $info array, the form's action is validate.php which is a self executing class : i.e.

$index = new validate;
class validate {
 var...
  function validate() {
    global $info, $db_driver, $HTTP_POST_VARS;
    .. the rest of the code.
  }
}

$info is called from the main page and it is used with no problem, but when I try to call it from the validate script it doesn't work. I also have another class called $db_driver which is also used in the main page but when called in the validate it doesn't work.

I have set the global variables in PHP.INI and I never had a problem like this before with them.

$info is an array() and $db_driver is a class. If you have read the Invision Board source code this works similarly, they have a huge class called $ibforums ($info to me) which stores information and a $DB class ($db driver to me).

Try..

$this->info;

Nope, that doesn't work.

Let me say something else:

index.php creates the two clases ($info, $db_driver)
it also requires main.php which uses the two classes via global (global $info, $db_driver😉
main.php has a form which leads to the self_executing class validate in which using the classes ($info, $db_driver) the same way I do in main.php and index.php does not work.

I had a similar problem before when requiring main.php

if i did: require $info->root . "main.php"; then the classes didn't get passed but if i did require "main.php", then the classes did get passed. The two ways did require correctly.
