quick question -- i have a couple of core classes that "run" my application that i'd love to have persist over the entire application so that i can easily use it throughout the application without having to include and instantiate the class on every one of my controllers...

so, right now i have this:

Code:

	
// start the session
session_start();	
// only instantiate the core class once per session	
if(!isset($_SESSION['site_core'])){
   $_SESSION["careers_core"] = new careersCore('site.com');
}

then, throughout my application, i can reference it by doing this:

Code:

 $_SESSION['site_core']->do_something();

this seems...i dunno...bad. any advice for how to accomplish better what i am doing?

thanks everyone!
