Dell 4500, mem 1g, disk 45g, mhz 2g, Mysql-3.23.54a-linux-i686, PHP-4.30, httpd_2.0.44, moxilla 1.0.1 Can someone help converting a function to a class and function. The included function in example 1 works as expected but the include class and function in example 2 does not. What can I do to fix this problem. Note that example 1 executed "0f" and "1f" echos in addition to all echos in the main(?) php script, where as example 2 stops after the main(?) php script echo "2" which means the {include ("./inc/tcb/tmtb_connect_tbc_db.cls");} statement was parsed but had errors. included Function for example 1 <?php # include ("tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc"); function connect_tbc_db() { echo " 0f <br>"; $tmtb_db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root") or die ("die tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc mysql_connect $tmtb_db\n"); echo " 1f <br>"; mysql_select_db("tbc_db", $tmtb_db) or die ("die tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc mysql_select_db $tmtb_db\n"); echo "<br> tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc return $tmtb_db <br>"; return $tmtb_db; } ?> included Class and Function for example 2 <?php # include ("tmtb_connect_tbc_db.cls"); class connect_tbc_db_cls { var $tmtb_db = 0; # function connect_tbc_db() { echo " 0f <br>"; this->$tmtb_db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root") or die ("die tmtb_connect_tbc_db.cls mysql_connect this->$tmtb_db\n"); echo " 1f <br>"; # mysql_select_db("tbc_db", this->$tmtb_db) # or die (" die tmtb_connect_tbc_db.cls mysql_select_db this->$tmtb_db\n"); echo "<br> tmtb_connect_tbc_db.cls return this->$tmtb_db <br>"; return this->$tmtb_db; } }; ?> using Mozilla example 1 ************************************ <html><head><title>tmtb_r_select_html_3.php</title></head> <body> tmtb_r_select_html_3.php <BR><BR> <!-- including class and function<BR><BR> --> including function<BR><BR> <?php ## tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc echo " 1 <br>"; # #include ("./inc/tcb/tmtb_connect_tbc_db.cls"); #echo " 2 <br>"; #$a = new connect_tbc_db_cls(); #echo " 3 <br>"; #$tmtb_db = $a->connect_tbc_db(); #echo " 4 <br>"; # include ("./inc/tcb/tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc"); echo " 2 <br>"; $tmtb_db = connect_tbc_db(); echo " 3 <br>"; ## define_variables include ("./inc/tmr/dat_tmr_variables.inc"); include ("./inc/html/html_variables.inc"); # echo " 4 <br>...<br>...<br>...<br>"; ?> <br><br> # tmtb_r_select_html_3.php end <BR><BR> </body> </html> submit http://127.0.0.1/tmtb_r_select_html_3.php example 111111111111111111111111111111111 output follows tmtb_r_select_html_3.php including function 1 2 0f 1f tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc return Resource id #3 3 4 ... <snip> # tmtb_r_select_html_3.php end end example 11111111111111111111111111111 using Mozilla example 2 ********************************** <html><head><title>tmtb_r_select_html_3.php</title></head> <body> tmtb_r_select_html_3.php <BR><BR> including class and function<BR><BR> <!-- including function<BR><BR> --> <?php ## tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc echo " 1 <br>"; # include ("./inc/tcb/tmtb_connect_tbc_db.cls"); echo " 2 <br>"; $a = new connect_tbc_db_cls(); echo " 3 <br>"; $tmtb_db = $a->connect_tbc_db(); echo " 4 <br>"; # #include ("./inc/tcb/tmtb_connect_tbc_db.inc"); #echo " 2 <br>"; #$tmtb_db = connect_tbc_db(); #echo " 3 <br>"; ## define_variables include ("./inc/tmr/dat_tmr_variables.inc"); include ("./inc/html/html_variables.inc"); # echo " 4 <br>...<br>...<br>...<br>"; ?> <br><br> # tmtb_r_select_html_3.php end <BR><BR> </body> </html> submit http://127.0.0.1/tmtb_r_select_html_3.php example 222222222222222222222222222222222 output follows tmtb_r_select_html_3.php including class and function 1 2 end example 22222222222222222222222222222 Thanks ed anderson -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
