I don't think you really need a connection class, per se. What you want to
do is write the connection code for the database once and then be able to
use it in all of your pages, correct.
How about this:
db_connection.php
<?php
$dbh = mysql_connect('host','user','password');
mysql_select_db('database')
?>
Then in each file, at the top:
<?php require './db_connection.php'; ?>
And you would call your queries like this:
$query = 'SELECT au FROM pb WHERE alchemy!="junk_science"';
$res = mysql_query($query, $dbh);
>From there you need to use the fetch_row/array functions as described in the
PHP manual.
If not using MySQL, change the "connect" call to the appropriate function.
The above assumes that you are just talking to tables in one database. If
using more databases, put the select_db call in the individual files.
Also, if your db_connection.php file isn't in the same directory as the
files requiring it, use an absolute location or put the file in your include
path.
HTH.
