[pyro.699]

ok, im working on a vb free site and im setting up a code so that inorder to write/read a query i need to only type

PHP Code:

$db->query(); 


now, here is what i hvae built so far!

PHP Code:

class Blizz { var $blizz; }

//set the function
    $this->connection = $resource;
    ($resource = mysql_connect());
 function query($query) 
{ 
    $resource = mysql_query($query, $this->connection); 
    if (!$resource) 
    { 
        $this->debug_query($query); 
    }

    return $resource;
}


$db = new Blizz($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname); 


ok,

PHP Code:

$dbhost
$dbuser
$dbpass
$dbname 


are all defined above... in the part of the sript that you can't handle!

Ty in advance

$this should only be used inside methods AFAIK...

*I'm still very new to OOP*

[pyro.699]

Im new aswell ^^

umm, so, where what should i put it inside of?

Well that function isn't even in your class, you're defining a class with no methods in it. I don't know if the below will work as I haven't tested it....nor am I an OOP guru, as I am still learning myself.

PHP Code:

var $resource =mysql_connect();

class Blizz { 

//set the function
    
 function query($query) 
{ 
    $this->connection = $resource;
    $this->resource = mysql_query($query, $this->connection); 
    if (!$this->resource) 
    { 
        $this->debug_query($query); 
    }

    return $this->resource;
}


$db = new Blizz;
$query = $db->query("QUERY"); 


And also what do you mean by a vb free site?

Update of code:

PHP Code:

class Blizz { var $blizz;
         var $resource = mysql_connect(); }

//set the function
    $this->connection = $resource;
    ($resource = mysql_connect());
 function query($query) 
{ 
    $resource = mysql_query($query, $this->connection); 
    if (!$resource) 
    { 
        $this->debug_query($query); 
    }

    return $resource;
}


//Connect
$db = new Blizz($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);

Your closing the class before defining any methods, you have to wrap the closing bracket "}" at the end of all you methods.

[pyro.699]

yeah, i had a feeling that was an answer
Updated Script

PHP Code:

class Blizz { var $blizz;
            var $resource = mysql_connect();

//set the function
        $this->connection = $resource;
        ($resource = mysql_connect());
    function query($query) 
    { 
        $resource = mysql_query($query, $this->connection); 
        if (!$resource) 
        { 
            $this->debug_query($query); 
        }

        return $resource;
    }
}

//Connect
$db = new Blizz($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);

you can not run a function or set a var when initialzing it, except for setting it as an array. if you want to set that var as mysql_connect create a constructor function at the beginning of your class.

[The Geek]

Just to build on AN-nets excellent pointer:

PHP Code:

class myclass
{
 
var myvariable;
 
function myclass($var)
{
//your constructor is a function with the same name as your class
$this->myvariable = $var;
}
}
