HELP pear DB::Connect problem

[Ralphie]

Hello everyone,

I was wonerding if anybody has a problem that when you try
and instantiate DB class it just returns a blank page ... my code is

function session() {
1. $this->_oConn =& DB::connect(DSN);
2. if (DB::isError($this->_oConn) ) {
3. catchExc($this->_oConn->getMessage());
4. }
}

I have the code in a class function, the class is supposed to
authenticate a user and create a session, but when I try and
instantiate the class and the program gets to line 1 I just get a
blank.
has anyone had this problem before ??

Thanks
Ralph

I have experienced that, except it was with the PEAR mail interface. It
happens when /usr/local/lib/php (or whatever is the path to your PHP
include files) is not in your include path, if I remember correctly. I
didn't investigate why it just came up with a blank page instead of
erroring though.

function session() {
Surely this is not a legal name for a user-defined function? Try giving it
a different name.

the program gets to line 1 I just get a blank.

Do you mean the screen goes blank? What do your error logs say?

Yes the screen goes blank, forgive me if I sound like a newbie,
because I am, can u tell me where I might find the error log, because
I did not see it in the php folder
