i have a function that does authentication of a user, whose user/pass are
stored in an md5($var ) fashion. i query these from the mysql db in an
authentication (if !$user || !pass) function checking against md5($pass).

my thinking is that classes would be better suited to grab object
properties, such as variable values, when doing things such as statistical
calculations (top 5 most frequented pages/site or number/hits per page)
rather than to perform the tasks normal functions could perform.

my question is: what is the advantage of making this database function a
class other than being able to instantiate it multiple times in the same
script. being that i use mysql_pconnect() won't i see a performance hit on
the db for successive connections? i would most likely just make a db
connection/query class and pass it the auth querystring but would i do
better to leave well enough alone with my existing function?
