Re: [PHP] building a large-scale application using oop

[Charles Kline]

Not sure how to answer your question as I am real new to PHP, but you 
may want to look at PEAR if you have not done so. I know there are 
libraries that folks have been talking about recently that handle just 
these sorts of things. If you don't use them - you may find your 
answers by looking at the sources.

Hi,

I am currently working on transforming a rather large software package 
to
oop. I do have a few years of experience with php, but just started to 
use oop.
One of the first question that arose was how to handle configuration 
vars.
These should ideally be stored in a file:

<?php

$db_user = "user";
$db_password ="secret";
etc.

?>

Now, I have to access these vars from a class.

class database {

var $db_user;
var $db_password;
function connect()
 {
}

}

What is the best way to access these variables? I want to avoid global 
vars.
I also don't like to set the vars using $object->db_user = $db_user; 
every
time I use it.

Also, is there any large open-source php - application which could 
serve as
an example of best practice?

best regards,

Raul
