Passing an object to functions

[Brent Macnaughton <brentimus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Version: PHP 4.3.9

I have a database connection class. I create an instance of this
class, then pass it to a function. Within that function, I can use
that object passed to the function. Within this function, I then call
another function, and want to pass the object to the second function.
This is where I am having problems. I cannot access this ocject from
the second function.

Here is an example of what I am trying to do:


function test1(&$OBJ_db)
{
    echo get_class($OBJ_db);  //Echos "lp_database"
    test2($OBJ_db)'
}

function test2(&$OBJ_db)
{
    $OBJ_db->query("SOME SQL STATEMENT"); //Fatal error: Call to a
member function on a non-object
    echo get_class($OBJ_db);  //Echos nothing
    echo gettype($OBJ_db);  //Echos NULL
}

$OBJ_database=new lp_database();
test1($OBJ_database);

Anyone have any ideas why I can't pass the object from function test1
to function test2? Even if I do not pass by reference, I can access
the object in function test1 but not in function test2.
