Models causing blank pages

Hey Xirgo,

Let's start with the syntax errors. I see two right now:
1) The database loading call should be in a method, in this case the constructor is probably the best choice. Classes are not processed top-down, and can't contain any logic outside of class methods.
2) Your second method declaration needs a pair of parentheses to be valid.

Blank pages usually indicate that the script has one or more syntax errors and the PHP interpreter can't parse it. A lot of setups don't show parse errors by default, but there is a PHP directive called 'display_errors' that will turned them on.
Errors sneak in quite a lot, so it's nice to have a development setup that will show them. Production should, of course, fail silently (or not at all ).

Let us know how that goes.
