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).

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
