inside of a function i have a $connection var what obviously stores my connection to mysql, how can i call that var from inside other functions to save me having to paste the $connection var inside of every function that requires this var?
i have tried global to no avail.
many thanks
分享 You could use the old global keyword.
function a() {
global $connection;
}
Or you could throw it in $GLOBALS (this will help you get it out of the function defined it in).
Neither of them are too pretty.
Or you could pass in the $connection as an argument.
The most common way of dealing with a database connection is to have its creation handled by a singleton pattern, or have a base class with OO that has a $this->db available, that all your other classes can inherit from.
