Object weirdness in an included file

[Uhkis]

I'm using my Database class object in an function, the function works fine in the file where the function is. If I try to include the function containing file to another file, I get error message: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object....

 

In the function file, I create the object ($DB = new Database(...)) and use it in a function by global $DB and so on, works fine, except when that file is included somewhere.

 

Does PHP handle functions or objects differently when they are included in other files?

No, unless you are including a file using a URL instead of a file system path.

 

If you post your code, someone can probably quickly tell you why it is not working.

I guess these are the relevant lines (lots of censorship):

 

$DB = new Database($SERVER, $LOGIN, $PASSWORD, $DATABASE);
$DB->connect(); // works fine

function printStuff ()
{
    global $DB;

    try
    {
        $query       = "....";
        $results     = $DB->execute($query); // this is the line of problem, but only if this file is included somewhere
        $resultArray = $results->fetchAll();
    }
    catch (DatabaseException $e)
    {
    }
}

Since that does not show how you are including the file, it will be a little hard for anyone to help with your problem.
