We've been considering the following implementation of a class pointer within another class. Our goal here is to minimize the number of database connections per function call. It seems to work just fine, but I wanted to post this up for comments. PHP 4.1.1 doesn't seem to have a problem with it. We have a couple classes working this way in some of our beta code. I've never seen anyone do this before so I just wanted to make sure we weren't wandering into uncharted waters.
class my_class { var $test; var $db_class; function my_class($test) { $this->test = $test; $this->db_class = new database_class(DB_NAME); } function get_db_info() { ... use db here via $this->db_class ... } } Thanks, Gary -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
