First off thanks Curt for the attempt at explaining what the purpose was for those, I'm convinced enough to start doing that since that's what the "pros" use. :)
However, I know have another concern. As for as class security. Is it wrong to initialize the static variables for my database assignment class ie.. [..Example..] <?php class db_connection { var $user = "dbuser"; var $pass = "dbpass"; var $db = "db"; var $host = "localhost"; var $connection; ....?> [../Example..] or should I still be using the normal seperate file for those values ie... [..Example2..] <?php include_once("dbconn.php"); class db_connection { var $user; var $pass; var $db; var $host; var $connection; ...?> [../Example..] Where in the included file I have the variables listed as $user = username; $pass = password; etc..... The Class files that I am creating are going to be seperate "template" includes if you will where they also are going to be "include_once()" items aswell. Is it over redundant to have both of the files includes? Any help is much appreciated as I'm still learning this exciting language! :) TIA, Wolf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
