Re: require/include using a class ...

Hello Brian, > <? include('class_mysql.php'); ?> > Will also work.

Maybe someone > else will clarify. (more below) I would like to create some classes to handle the sql-connects more comfortable and so they need to be included regardless of the circumstances. As I understand 'require' is the best choice IMHO. > I'm not sure what else you're going to include in this code, but you may > want to make init() your constructor.

That's all for that. I think it could haven been taken a long time to find this problem. So it was right to ask here as FAQ's or the archive wouldn't really helped me. Thanks for your cooperation. > When you create a new instance of that class (see below), your constructor > (the function (method) that has the same name as the class itself) will > execute automatically. > Remember that simply including or requiring a class in the header of your > document won't automatically let you access its methods. You have to create > a new object/instance/dohickey Thanks for your help. I realized the way of creating objects. I think it's very easy in opposite to perl or C++. Will going to make my luck these days. : ) > include('class_mysql.php'); > $object = new mysql; > $object->init(); Thank you, this would have been my next step. : ) cu -- Mark-Walter@t-online.de
