i found a better solution : when you have a PDO connection outside of your class and cant use that connection inside the class , send that PDO object to the constructor as a parameter

///thats my pdo connection

$pdo_object = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=blabla','user','pw');

/// im creating the instance of that class as an obj

$dataObj=new class_name($pdo_obj);

///// inside the class :::simplified

class class_name{

private $handler;//// this is what i use for PDO connection inside the class

public function __construct($connection_name){

    if(!empty($connection_name)){
        $this->handler=$connection_name;
  ///its a great thing that holy php doesnt care much about variant types. any variant is able to carry any object (like PDO obj)
    }else{
        throw new Exception("cant connect bla bla...");
    }



}/////contruct fx

////how i use that pdo connection which is implamented to a local var called handler  with any sql query is : 

$dataSet= $this->handler->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE ....");
