Mysql link identifier

[akademik]

Hello,

I am using simple mysql adapter class to connect on mysql server:

class MySQL {
 
private $connection;

function __construct() {
$this->dbConnect();
}

private function dbConnect() {
$this->connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $this->connection) or die(mysql_error());
}

private function dbClose() {
mysql_close($this->connection);
}

public function query($query) {
return mysql_query($query, $this->connection);
}
};
$mysql = new MySQL;

class Get{
 
private $db;

function __construct() {
global $mysql;
$this->db = $mysql;
 }

 function get() {
  $q = "SELECT ...";
  $result = $this->db->query($q);
 }

};
$get = new Get;

Is this the right approach?

Firstly I've tried to extend MySQL class as follows:

class Get extends MySQL {

function get() {
$q = "SELECT ...";
$result = $this->query($q);
}

};

but I'm constantly getting error "...not a valid MySQL-Link resource". If I remove $this->connection as second argument in mysql_query(), than "extends" approach works... Why is this happens?

I'd appreciate some thoughts on this topic cose I'm trying to get some standard class to connecto to mysql.

Thanks

In one instance of your get() function, you reference a ->db and in the second you don't. Perhaps the error is not including the ->db in the second instance (in the one that extends the first)?
