ah i think i get what ur saying (finally i didnt find a fish but managed to find a source of caffine)

yes you could include it like:

PHP Code:


			
include_once('database.php'); 
$db = new database();

or if your class name is exactly the same as its file name you could use the magic __autoload method:

PHP Code:


			
function __autoload($class)
{
    include_once($class . '.php');
}

so it automaticly includes any file it needs.

i hope that helps :)
