That's incorrectly syntactically. Won't run.

Ok, let's write some code to show how this can be done:
class SearchHelper extends AjaxACApplication {
private $dbh;
public function __construct() {
$this->dbh = $GLOBALS['dbh'];
}
}
----
Better yet, pass the database host in the construction:
class SearchHelper extends AjaxACApplication {
private $dbh;
public function __construct($dbh) {
$this->dbh = $dbh;
}
}
$searchHelper = new SearchHelper($dbh);
----
Even better, DON'T use globals:
class DatabaseConnectionInfo {
private var $host;
...
public function getHost() {
return $this->host();
}
...
private static $defaultConnectionInfo;
public static function getDefault() {
if (self::$defaultConnectionInfo === null) {
...build default connection...
}
return self::$defaultConnectionInfo;
}
}
class SearchHelper extends AjaxACApplication {
private $dbh;
public function __construct(DatabaseConnectionInfo $connectionInfo = null)
{
if ($connectionInfo === null) {
$connectionInfo = DatabaseConnectionInfo::getDefault();
}
$this->dbh = $connectionInfo->getHost();
}
}
Yes, I know what you're thinking, too much more code for just a stupid
thing. Trust me, refactoring it's easier when the code was written right the
first time.
