Class visibility and database connection

[silversurfer5150]

Hey there,

Where can I find out which prestashop classes are visibile to one another? For, example, I can see the db connection php files but I am unsure of where each script makes that connection? What if I wanted to write some new code which required db connection?

thanks

Prestashop uses autoload, you can just use any class under the classes directory without the need to include anything. And you can access the database connection anywhere using the getInstance method, check other files to see how they use it.
