adodb_lite conflict

Hello-

I’ve built a custom CMS for a website. I’m using adodb_lite to manage all database calls. However, I’ve decided to use wordpress to manage their blog. In the head file of the theme, I’m calling a custom, site-wide header function (global navigation..etc).

This has worked great for me in the past, however, this is my first try while using adodb_lite. Whenever I try to hit the database, I get this error:

“Fatal error: Call to a member function Execute() on a non-object”

The first line in the function creates the connection:

$db = ADONewConnection(“mysql”, “extend:date:adodblite:pear”);

I’ve renamed $db incase wp_head() was overwriting it. But still no luck….

Any ideas?
