i may be wrong, but your use of the class to me seems pointless... the reuse
aspect of your database connection could be done with a simple include...
maybe your need is different from what i suspect, being a beginner myself...
here is what i do, and maybe the list can tell me if it would be better or
worse for you...
in a seperate php file define your database info...
<?php
//begin database information
$hostname = "localhost";
$db_user = "nerd_mysite";
$db_pass = "pepsi_is_good";
$database = "nerd__pepsi";
$l = @mysql_connect($hostname, $db_user, $db_pass);
@mysql_select_db($database, $l);
//end database information
?>
and in the all of the files you would need this connection you would just
include that file...and call the database with the variable $l.
example:
<?
$nerdCheck = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM DrinkMorePepsi WHERE username =
'$_POST[username]'", $l)
?>
and this could easily be made into a function to allow for multiple
databases, users passwords, ect....
if nothing else, at least tell me what you think about my way of doing this.
