im building a class and when i try to connect to my sql database i get a parse error, can any one figure it out??

Code: Select all

class Myclass{
var $dbh;

$this->dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "acount", "password") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("database");

}

class Myclass{
var $dbh;

$this->dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "acount", "password") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("database");

}
Yeah, that's invalid syntax for a class. Needs to be something like

Code: Select all

class Myclass{ 
    var $dbh; 

    function DBConnect(){
        $this->dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "acount", "password") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); 
        mysql_select_db ("database"); 
    }

}

Code: Select all

<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table",$this->dbh);
?>
should be

Code: Select all

<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table,$this->dbh");
?>
