This works perfectly fine:


But this gives me all sorts of errors:




Errors:


I know the member functions in db_inc work as in my first example. But as soon as I try to use a session variable all hell breaks loose. I printed out the session variable using print_r and it appears correct.

I found a work around. Trying to store the database variable in a session seems to reset it or something, thus losing the connection to the db.

sessions can be a pain, I don't think I've ever tried to store a db connection in one, not sure if that really tired best way to go about it too begin with, but you're problem here, it might be generating new sessions instead of resuming an existing one. I've run across that before. make sure you stick a session_start() at the top and do session_write_close() when you are done writing to it.
