[wp-hackers] Widget definitions inside classes

[Alex King]

For my Popularity Contest plugin I created a nice neat class, then  
added functions for all the methods I needed to call from hooks:

function foo() {
	global $my;
	$my->foo();
}

Not really an elegant solution, but not the worst thing in the world  
either as the functions require zero maintenance.

Cheers,
--Alex
