Well, I actually have a full db class which has a connect and close method
as well as query, fetch_array, etc... What I really want to know is how to
use the methods in my db class from another class (myclass for example)..
Do I include the db class from the myclass constructor and then set a
myclass variable = to the db object?
ie.
class my_class {
var $db;
function my_class() {
include('class_database.php');
$this->db = new database;
}
...
}
or is there a differnet or better way?
Thanks
