Any JM> way I can do this? I do it this way $class_ref = array() class db{ function db(){ global $class_ref; $class_ref['db'] =& $this; } } class a { var $db; function a{ global $class_ref; if(isset($class_ref['db'])){ $this->db =& $class_ref['db']; }else{ $this->db = new db(); } } } using $class_ref you can register all classes thay may be shared. -- regards, Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
