Re: Mixing classes

[Davy Obdam <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tomi,

You could create an object of the Database class in your Auth class like 
this and then use your Datebase class with your Auth class:

<?php
require_once("Database/Database.php");

class Auth
{

var $dbObject = "";

function Auth ()
{
   //Create an instance of you database class
   $this->dbObject = new Database($arg1, $arg2, $etc);
}

function doSomething()
{
   // Execute a query
   $this->dbObject->query($sql);

  
}

}

?>

I hope this helps

Best regards,

Davy Obdam

A conclusion is the place where you get tired of thinking.
