Pear Logger trouble

[Braclayrab]

Hi, i'm trying to use the pear logger to simply log some data to a file.
When I make a test script it works fine:

require_once($_SERVER["SITE_HTMLROOT"].'/Include/MyLogger.php');
$myLogger->log("foo error", PEAR_LOG_ERR);//This works

Contents of MyLogger.php:

<?php
require_once 'Log.php';//the Pear Logger
$myLogger = &Log::singleton("file", $_SERVER["SITE_HTMLROOT"]."/my.log");
?>

However, when I try to use $myLogger from within a class member-function I get an error:

"Call to a member function log() on a non-object in /home/10213/domains/mrmoviepants.com/html/Include/RSA.php on line 345"

As you can see, i'm trying to debug the Pear RSA Library but I don't believe that in particular is relevant.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:
I wrote another quick test script:

<?php
require_once("testinclude.php");
echo($testvar);
Class testfoo
{
function test()
{
//echo($testvar);
if(isSet($testvar))
{
echo($testvar);
}
else
{
echo("cannot find testvar<BR>");
}
}
}
$myFoo = new testfoo();
$myFoo->test();
?>

testinclude.php:

<?php
$testvar = "this is my testvar<BR>";
?>

output:

"this is my testvar
cannot find testvar"

Is it not possible to access variables outside of a class from inside a member function?  I suppose that does makes sense. 
I think I'm going to try giving my class and errorhandler...

UPDATE:
this works:
$error_handler = create_function('$obj', 'echo("error: ". $obj->getLastError()->getMessage(). "<BR>");');

this does not:
$error_handler = create_function('$obj', '$myLogger->log("error: ". $obj->getLastError()->getMessage(). "<BR>",PEAR_LOG_ERR);');

I get the same error:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function log() on a non-object in /home/10213/domains/mrmoviepants.com/html/Admin/test2.php(41) : runtime-created function on line 1"

How can I access myLogger from within a class?  help!!

Update(i'm retarded):

function logError($obj)
{
$myLogger = &Log::singleton("file", $_SERVER["SITE_HTMLROOT"]."/my.log");
$myLogger->log("error: ". $obj->getLastError()->getMessage(). "<BR>",PEAR_LOG_ERR);
}
$rsa_obj = new Crypt_RSA;
$rsa_obj->setErrorHandler(logError);

this works, obviously.  I suppose I could have done this inline as well.
I hope this thread helps someone else.  >.<
