Hello,
I am currently working on some code (class based) and I am wondering how I could make one class have a default - and permanent connection to a MySQL database.
Some pseudo-code of how I wish for this to work would be;

PHP Code:

class hooks {

 public function fetch_code ($hook_id) {

  return $this->ms_query("blah blah blah");

 };

}; 

But I would not like to have to write ms_query in that class itself. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced,
Ryan
