Prevent database connection as a parameter to all function

[byenary]

HI, i'm using a class to create a database connection etc..

So I have something like this in a common.inc.php file which is include in each page

$db_numbers_args = array();
$db_numbers_args['host'] = "localhost";
$db_numbers_args['user'] = "puser";
$db_numbers_args['pass'] = "nuser";
$db_numbers_args['db']   = "nu_name";
$db_numbers = new db($db_numbers_args,TRUE);

 

From there I can end up making query's like $res = $db_numbers->query($uqs);

 

So that said i'm including another file that contains all functions, when  the functions need to do database transactions I always need to put $db_numbers as a paramter to the function and each function I make..

How should I make this better ?

You could use a singleton factory. Take a look at the first response here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/130878/global-or-singleton-for-database-connection
