Access database inside of a validation class


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello,

For quite some time, I have been using functions to validate form input and access the databse. I have recently started using OOP, which is far faster and better when it comes to programming (performance aside).

Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
My question:
How do I access the database within a specific validation class.

Example:

class validateLogin {

// Class properties
public $value;
public $msg;
public $valid = 0;

// Access database and do some stuff to check

}

I added in the "public" to show how I would get values into the class from the public variable scope. Would I do the same for the database? A problem would arise because I use a database class to access mysql. Can I have a class within another class? I could use a normal function and basic coding, but I like php classes. Thank you
