RE: Using Objects with Databases

Luke,

Thanks for the help.  This only answers half of my question.  I understand that
you need to build a class to handle your database needs.  However, once the
database returns a row in the table "user", there will be functions performed
for that user.  I was thinking about creating a class "User" to handle the
initialization and other functions for the user.  What's the best way of doing
that?

Thanks,

Philip

Initialise the database connection and perform actions on the database using
a seperate class.
You can pass your functions (methods) values returned from your database
calls to manipulate.

This is commonly called a 'database abstaction layer'

Theres a good database abstraction class in this magazine by a guy called
marco talbini http://www.phparch.com/

Else lookup PEAR:MB or adodb library on teoma.com or similar.

Hello all,

I am trying to create a class, say User.  Each user has an entry in the
database
table called user.  Each function, including the constructor, will be
calling
the database to do something.  Is it better to initialize the database
connection inside each function or is it better to initialize the connection
at
the beginning of the class?  What's the best practice on this?

Any help or example is appreciated.

Thanks,

Philip
