Yes, I put the object in $_SESSION, but the question is if I have to instantiate an object Auth on every php where I want to use some method or property. For example, $a = $_SESSION['a']; // $_SESSION['a'] is an authenticated session Auth object when I try to use $a->getAuthData() I get an error, saying a is an unknown object. Should I have to put $a = new Auth('DB','none'); before referencing Auth methods? thaniks in advance and sorry for my english --ejg
