Yes you can use the same variable name on all functions.
However, there already is a function called "stripslashes" for example, and you cannot use the same name as an already existing function. I would suggest you to "merge" the 2 functions to a function called something like "secure".

I also thought about something in your updated code. You don't actually check if the connection succeeded, so I would suggest you to do something like

PHP Code:


			
if($this->link) //meaning the connection returned true..
{
return true;
}
else return false;

and put that in your connect function for a better structure and errorclearing.
