php5 coding class objects best practices

hi people,
i havent used thi slist for quite a while.

anyway. Im trying to write an application which relies heavily on mysql. so
i have made a class object which has all the functions to make using mysql
very easy for me.

but the problem im faced with now is, i have a bunch of other classes, which
have a dependency to be able to read or write to mysql at some point.

i dont want to have to write and maintain seperate mysql classes to extend
other other classes.

is it alright to, for example, point to one class from within another?

e.g.

$user = new User();

$user->mysql = new MySql();

and then call functions in MySql() from within User() by;

$this->mysql->fetch_result_into_array();

im new to PHP5 so im not aware of all its new and awesome OO features.

does anyone have any advise?
