If so then you can't access $this->_dbuser and $this->_dbpw because you have not set their value anywhere. You cannot set their value in the section you labeled "var declarations" either. PHP does not allow values to be assigned to variables outside of functions. So if you have any assignments in the var declaration section put those at the top of your constructor.
