Re: Classes and Global vars

Put it all in 1 file, and then break it out. Most likely you didn't require() the file which defines "class testclass()" Also watch out for the scope of your variables. Look into the "global" declarator. Make sure when you require() that you have your include path set when you compile, or specify where you're loading from... require("..\include\config.php3"); And remember that the relative path is from your current dir if you're running the CGI version.
