Ok, I've tried with a dummy class : class dummy { var $yank; Function dummy() { $this->yank = "test dummy"; } } and the problem is exactly the same. i've done print_r($dummy); is works ok outside the function, but inside print_r($dummy) doesn't return anything, like $dummy wasn't existing, even tough I declared it to be global... So the class n itself doesn't have anything to do with it. I'm really stuck with this. Is there any incompatibiliy with class and global declaration ? btw, I'm using PHP 4.3.10-8 thanks for your help, On Sat, 19 Mar 2005 20:45:55 +0000, Mister Jack <pooly7@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > there is no database connection involved here. if I displace the > $freedb =& new freedbaxs(); > inside the function it's works. > > I should give a try with a dummy object.
