I've attached a (very) simple script that is currently working with the DB
stuff in current cvs.

I'll look into this. The classes were written before the feature set of php4
was finalized.

use does not exist anymore. include_once is exactly like include, but it is
guaranteed not to include a file more than once.

That should be it.
