Description:
------------
When $this->something is defined then call to DB::connect yields errors.

Has to do with $this being protected. Any other variable yields no errors.

Test script:
---------------
This program yield the errors:
<?php

require_once ('DB.php');

$this->a=3;

$loginquery = "SELECT user_ID FROM users WHERE user_name='blablabla'";

$hostname = "localhost";
$database = "database";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbasetype = "database";
$dsn = "$dbasetype://$username:$password@$hostname/$database";

$connection =& DB::connect($dsn);

*/
?>

Expected result:
----------------
no error-messages. The potential bad use of $this has nothing to do with DB.

Anyway the $this->a gets defined just fine (as a StdClass) and is usable, so I would expect other functions to be able to deal with that.

Actual result:
