Ok DB.php is a class, here is the code

<?php

class DB
{
    var $host = '';
    var $user = '';
    var $password = '';
    var $database = '';
    var $persistent = false;

    var $conn = NULL;

    var $result = false;

    function DB($host, $user, $password, $database, $persistent = false)
    {
        $this->host = $host;
        $this->user = $user;
        $this->password = $password;
        $this->database = $database;
        $this->persistent = $persistent;

        return $this;
    }

    function open()
    {
        if ($this->persistent) {
            $func = 'mysql_pconnect';
        } else {
            $func = 'mysql_connect';
        }

        //print "host=" . $this->host . "<br>";
        //print "user=" . $this->user . "<br>";
        //print "password=" . $this->password . "<br>";

        $this->conn = $func($this->host, $this->user, $this->password);
        if (!$this->conn) {
            return false;
        }

        if (!@mysql_select_db($this->database, $this->conn)) {
            return false;
        }

        return true;
    }

    function close()
    {
        return (@mysql_close($this->conn));
    }

    function error()
    {
        return (mysql_error());
    }

    function query($sql = '')
    {
        $this->result = @mysql_query($sql, $this->conn);

        return ($this->result != false);
    }

    function listFields($sql = '')
    {
        $this->result = @mysql_list_fields($this->database, $sql, $this->conn);

        return ($this->result != false);
    }

    function affectedRows()
    {
        return (@mysql_affected_rows($this->conn));
    }

    function numRows()
    {
        return (@mysql_num_rows($this->result));
    }

    function numFields()
    {
        return (@mysql_num_fields($this->result));
    }

    function freeResult()
    {
        return (@mysql_free_result($this->result));
    }

    function fetchObject()
    {
        return (@mysql_fetch_object($this->result, MYSQL_ASSOC));
    }

    function fetchArray()
    {
        return (@mysql_fetch_array($this->result, MYSQL_NUM));
    }

    function fetchAssoc()
    {
        return (@mysql_fetch_assoc($this->result));
    }

    function dataSeek($page)
    {
        return (@mysql_data_seek($this->result, $page));
    }

    function getResult($num)
    {
        return (@mysql_result($this->result, $num));
    }


    function fieldName($num)
    {
        return (@mysql_field_name($this->result, $num));
    }

}

this class is being called as follows on the login page

<?
require_once($PUREMAILWEBCLASSES . "DB.php");
global $HOST, $USER, $PASSWORD, $DB_MAIN, $GreatDomain, $CltsFolder, $USERDATAMAILFILEDIR, $BASEPATHSECURE, $GreatDomain,$options;
DB::DB($HOST, $USER, $PASSWORD, $DB_MAIN);//=>call to DB class

Thanks

The PHP Online manual section on the "static" keyword in PHP 5.x objects says that "Declaring class members or methods as static makes them accessible without needing an instantiation of the class. A member declared as static can not be accessed with an instantiated class object (though a static method can)."

It sounds to me like you need to either start declaring the class' methods and members static or instantiate the class and reference the methods via the object.
