[snip] Not trying to hijack the thread... Hopefully this is related enough, if not I apologize. Would a good use of a class be to write a generic database connection script? and then feed in the different variables, such as customer login, database, stuff like that? something like class DBConnect { // Connect to database mysql_connect($server, $login, $password, $database); } or no? [/snip] I don't think so because it is inefficient...wrapping an existing stand-alone function is sort of redundant. If you were writing a database abstraction layer that would be a horse of a different color.
