Always CC the list. What's wrong with this being a global variable? In your common or global or whatever you call it file: $db = &new Db(); $db->Connect('....'); $GLOBALS['Database'] = &$db; then you use $GLOBALS['Database']->... This file is *always* called before your other classes so it's always set. It can't be overridden or anything, so I don't understand the objection to it being a global variable. Another option, inside your main class (you're using inheritance right?) var $Db = null; function GetDb() { if (!is_null($this->Db) && is_resource($this->Db->Connection)) {

    return $this->Db;

} $db = & new Db(); $db->Connect(...); $this->Db = &$db; } then use $db = $this->GetDb(); inside your class. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
