include class variable into another class.

[Rayn]

What I am trying to do is take a already exsisting class variable to a database for example lets call it

$DB

now with that I want place it in a newer class for example

class Something
{
       Something ()
       {
              $DB->query(etc..); 
       }
}

And then finally in my inital code uses the require_once function to get both of the scripnts.

<?php

require_once('./global.php'); // Object already setup
require_once('./Something.php');

$DB->query();

$ss = new Someting;
$ss->Something();

?>

So any ideas?

Thank you for your time

$ss = new Someting;
$ss->Something();

That will call $ss->Something() twice. Function with the same name as the class is the constructor. Which it so happens would be useful here...

class Something {
    var $db;

function Something(&$db) {
    $this->db =& $db;
}

function do_query() {
    $this->db->query("select * from table");
    // etc.
}

}

Then this:

$ss =& new Something($DB);
$ss->do_query();

By the way, your terminology is a bit messed up. Classes and objects are different. In your code Something is a class, $DB and $ss are objects. $ss is an instance of the Something class.

Thank you for the help. Sorry about the terminology I was in a rush when I posted this. 🙂
