[SOLVED] Include Class inside another Class

[ykarmi]

Hey Guys,

This is a pretty newbie question but my google keyword skills did not seem to help.

I am very new to OOP - I used to do everything procedural until not a long time ago.

 

 

I have a database class that I use to connect and talk to my database.

I have another class (user class) which is supposed to add a user to the database.

I need to somehow make my user class use the db class, and trying to include it with the __construct thing did not work...

This is what I tried

 

 
class User{
   
    public $error;
    public $db;
   
    public function __construct(){
        require_once "db.class.php";
        $this->db = new DB;
    }
   
    public function create($username, $password){
        //...
    }

}

 

 

If I use 'extends' for the DB class (though it's not really extending it) will I be prevented from extending the User class?

I use PHP5 and I have no idea how to do this in a way that is considered good practice.

 

Please help.

Thanks!

The class should be required on the page requiring the current class.  Then it would just be

 

$DB = new DB(); inside of the function.

 

   public $db;
   public function __construct(){
       $this->db = new DB();
    }
