Never though I'd end up posting here, but i'm done.

I am coding a system right now, so in my main file I have between the lines of

code:

---

$sqlObj = new sql_system($sql_inf);

---

You are sure that it isn't declared within a function? Or do you try to use it in a function?

How about doing a really simple test. Make two files, test1.php and test2.php. In test2.php you do something with $sqlObj, very basic.

In test1.php you make the object like above and do:

code:

---

require("test2.php");

---

Somebody posted something similar to this before.

Apparantly, if in file1.php, you define a something, and then include file2.php, whatever you defined in file1.php doesn't work. file2.php gets processed by itself, and then pasted into file1.php. You will need to define something in file2.php for it to work, you can't define it in file1.php and include file2.php.

code:

<?php
class wdz {
    var $lazy = 'very lazy';
}
$wdz = new wdz;
require './file2.php';
?>

code:

---

<?php
echo $wdz->lazy;
?>
