Php Classes Access the same class instance over multiple pages

[fffanatics 0]

Hey everyone. I am having some trouble accessing the same php class instance in more that one page. This is for my login script and what i need to do is be able to call the classes logout function from a separate page. What i have tried to do is create a new .php page and include the class file and then make a new class and call logout. This does not work because it does not log out the current user which is my problem. Can anyone help me fix this or know of another way to do it?

Below is my class file

<?php     // member class     // handlers member logon     class member_class   {         var $message = '';     var $query_error = 'ERROR: something went wrong when accessing the database. Please consult your webmaster';           function member_class()   {   //constructor             if (!isset($_SESSION['id']))   {   //fills session with empty values                  $this->set_session_defaults();             }               if ($_SESSION['logged_in'])   {    //already logged in                 $this->check_session();             }               if (isset($_COOKIE['remember']))   {                   $this->check_remembered($_COOKIE['remember']);             }         }                  function register($username,$password, $email, $firstname, $lastname, $website, $show_email, $remember)      {             $username = mysql_escape_string($username);             $password = mysql_escape_string(md5($password));               $result=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = '{$username}'"), MYSQL_ASSOC);          if (!$result)       {  //insert record if user name doesn't exist      $date = date("F j, Y", time());               $insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO user VALUES ('', '$username', '$password', '$firstname', '$lastname', '', '', '', '', '$date', '$email', '$website', '$show_email', 0)") or DIE ($this->query_error);     $result = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = '{$username}' AND password = '{$password}'"), MYSQL_ASSOC) or DIE ($this->query_error);     header('Location: index.php');     $this->set_session($result,$remember,true); //log user on                 return true;             }//if     else     {              $this->message .= 'Username already exists!

Well since no one answered my post, i actually figured this one out myself. I just had to include the correct files and recreate the variable which would pick up the Session variables during its initialization and do the correct procedures. For any one interested or needs help doing something like this let me know.
