First take a class definition in a file called "testclass.php": class test{ var $attribut; } -------------------------------------------------- Then make a "main.php" who contains : session_start(); //HTML header echo "<html>"; //Define frames echo '<frameset rows="80,*" border='.$bord_horz_size.' frameborder="yes" bordercolor='.$col_bord_horz.'>'; echo '<frame name="status-frame" noresize scrolling="no" src="/status_gen/status_gen.php">'; echo '<frameset cols="250,*" border='.$bord_vert_size.' frameborder="yes" bordercolor='.$col_bord_vert.'>'; echo '<frame name="menu-frame" noresize scrolling="no" src="/menu_gen/menu_gen.php">'; //THE main frame : echo '<frame name="main-frame" noresize src="/mainframe/mainframe.php">'; //End of the frames echo "</frameset>"; echo "</frameset>"; //End of HTML echo "</html>"; ----------------------------------------- Now we define the "mainframe.php" : require("test.php"); --------------------------------------- Let's define "test.php" : require_once("testclass.php"); if (!isset($dummy)){ $dummy = new testclass(); $dummy->attribut = "foo bar"; session_register("dummy"); } else{ echo $dummy->attribut; } --------------------------------------- When I refresh the mainframe it says : "fatal error : The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that class definition (...). The bug report #13298 give a walk arround : include the class definition before the session_start but I can't do it beceause I've to start my session in the frame-definition-page.
