It seems that I'm struggling with an issue trying to pass a variable to the class file, but tells me the $db is undefined when I call the User::getUser(). Any ideas how can I achieve passing the $db that is defined in the bootstrap.inc.php and then using it in the auto loaded class file User? In my bootstrap.inc.php file which it's included in the index.php file. <?php # Autoload the classes spl_autoload_register("autoload"); # Autoload Composer Libraries require_once('composer/autoload.php'); # Set up the database connection $db = \ParagonIE\EasyDB\Factory::create( 'mysql:host='.DB_HOST.';dbname='.DB_NAME, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD ); # Function to load the required classes files function autoload($class_name) { # Load classes... if(file_exists(CLASS_PATH.DS.$class_name.'.class.php')) { require CLASS_PATH.DS.$class_name.'.class.php'; return; } } And then in my User.class.php file, I called the getUser function, and then it said undefined variable $db. <?php class User { public static function getUser() { $userData = $db->row("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", 1); return $userData; } } I appreciate any solutions!
