The Best way?

[JimTools]

Hello smarty pants people

I've got a question to ask. what is the best way to connect to a database using oop in php?

this is how i've done it. but is there a better way?

	class MyClass {
		const host = 'localhost';
		const user = 'username';
		const pass = 'password';
		const db = 'database';
		
		public static function connect(){
			$con = mysql_connect(self::host,self::user,self::pass)or die(mysql_error());
			$db = mysql_select_db(self::db,$con)or die(mysql_error());
		}
	}

$obj = new MyClass();
$obj->connect();

You could always use the PHP5 MySQLI object.
