PHP - Moved: Change Pointer On Mouse Over Table Element

I'm entering my site via a sub folder, e.g. mysite.com/BeginHere (which triggers index.php in the BeginHere folder) and then including my main page which is in the root folder. I change the directory pointer with chdir( '../' ) so now I'm officially back in the root folder.

This works fine - but the HTML still points to one directory down. Is there any way I can move this up one level as well?

So i've been wanting to expand my php horizons if you will and finally break of my fear of OOP.
Here's a simple connection script i built, however i'm kind of stuck on a part of it.

user passes username/password.

i instantiate the mysqlcon class and call the connect function.
the connect function attempts a connection to the database.
if successful, pass on the username and password to the authenticator class.
call the authenticate function.
select user based on username/passwrod criteria.
if found return "Confirmed" otherwise "Denied"

here's my issue, i'm assuming that my Code: [Select]
return $this->ok variable is returned back to the mysqlcon class. however how can i return that variable once more back outside of the object class so that i can continue with my script assuming authentication was confirmed.

Here's my code... thanks for the help!


<?php
## OOP PRACTICE ##

class mysqlcon

{

function connect($user,$pass)

{

//Note: Connect to the database

$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "usr","psw") or die(mysql_error()); 

if(mysql_select_db("database",$db) or die(mysql_error()))

{

$auth = new authenticator();

$auth->authenticate($user,$pass);

}

}

}

class authenticator

{

var $ok = "Confirmed";

var $ex = "Denied";

function authenticate($user,$pass)

{

//Note: User user and pass variables to check for user in table

$qry = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$user' AND password = '$pass'";

$sql = mysql_query($qry) or die(mysql_error());

$cnt = mysql_num_rows($sql);

if($cnt > 0)

{

return $this->ok;

}

else

{

return $this->ex;

}

}

}



$con = new mysqlcon();
$con->connect($_POST['username'],$_POST['password']);

?>


PS: the classes are in class.php and the instantiation are in index.php. I just placed them together for easy of viewing.

Is there a way to get the mysql's internal pointer position? I have searched Google, found this:

Code: [Select]
<?php 
function mysql_pointer_position($result_set) { 
        $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result_set); 
        $i = 0; 
        while($result = mysql_fetch_array($result_set)) { 
            $i++; 
        } 
        $pointer_position = $num_rows - $i; 

//Return pointer to original position 
        if($pointer_position <= $num_rows - 1) { 
            mysql_data_seek($result_set, $pointer_position); 
        } 
        return $pointer_position; 
    } 
?>
But I don't really like it. Is there a better way to find the current position of the internal pointer?
