Oh, I forgot to mention, "$this" only works in the class scope. If you
are calling the methods from outside, you would need to refer it via the
class name variable. For example:
<?php
include('mydbclass.php');
$dbclass = new Data_Base();
$dbclass->Connect();
mysql_query('SELECT * FROM blah',$dbclass->handle);
?>
