Not done any OO stuff with PHP, but I would hazard a guess that the problem is one of scope.
Rather than global making available class variables, it makes available GLOBAL variables. And I'm guessing there isn't a global variable a or b, which is why they show up blank.

Consider the following Class. class Test { var $a; var $b; function Test() { $this->a = 2; $this->b = 5; } function Show() { global $a, $b; echo("a: ".$a); echo("a: ".$this->a); echo("b: ".$b); echo("b: ".$this->b); } } After proper initialisation, calling the function Show() gives: a: a: 2 b: b: 5 What am I forgetting here?
