Ok, i've found a workaround. So contrary to what is stated apparently in the documentation I had to declara the variables explicitely "global" to make it working and to create the object and assign _without_ reference. to sum up : global $freedb; $freedb = new freedbaxs(); function return_freedb_search($array) { global $freedb; [snip] $freedb->freedb_search($txt); } this is the one working.
