I dont understand why appear this error when create a object like this:

The error is in index.php in this line:

$dbPerfiles = new DB_Functions();

And the error is this:

PDO Connection error: invalid data source name

config.php

<?php
define ("DB_USER","root");
define ("DB_PASS","root");
define ("DNS","mysql:host=localhost;dbname=example");
?>

DB_Connect.php

<?php
require_once 'config.php';
class DB_Connect {
    private static $_instance;

    //Connecting to database
    public function &pdo_connect() {    
        if(!self::$_instance) {
            try{
                self::$_instance = new PDO(DNS,DB_USER, DB_PASS);
                self::$_instance->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT, true);
                self::$_instance->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
            } catch (PDOException $ex) {
                die("PDO Connection error: ".$ex->getMessage()."<br/>");
            }
        }
        return self::$_instance;
    }

    private function __construct() {
    }

    private function __clone() {
    }
}
?>

DB_Functions.php

<?php
    session_start();
    require_once 'DB_Connect.php';

    class DB_Functions extends DB_Connect{

        private $dbConnect = "";

        public function __construct() {
            $this->dbConnect = $this->pdo_connect();
        }

        public function __destruct() {
            $this->dbConnect = null;
        }

        public function getDetails() {
            try {
                //sql statement

            } catch (PDOException $e) {
                echo "Error: ".$e->getMessage()."<br/>";
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
?>

index.php

<?php 
session_start();
$max_time = 1800;
$current = time();
if(!isset($_SESSION['clientmac']['un']) ) { 
    $_SESSION['clientmac']['un'] == "";
    header('Location: index.php');
} else {
    if (!isset($_SESSION['timeLogin'])){
        $_SESSION['clientmac']['tl'] = time();
    } else {
        $session_life = $current - $_SESSION['clientmac']['tl'];    

        if ($session_life > $max_time) {
            header('Location: include/logout.php');
        } else {
            $_SESSION['clientmac']['tl'] = time();
        }
    }

    require_once 'include/DB_Functions.php';
    $dbPerfiles = new DB_Functions();  //With this line shows the error

    //code to connect to getDetails() function in DB_Functions.php and
    //retrieve some data.

?>
<!doctype html>
<html lang=en>
<!--
CODE HTML
-->
</html>
<?php
}
?>

I want connect to DB_Functions and connect with getDetails() function or other function
in this file and retrieve data.. only that!

I hope I have explained.

Regards!!

    Solved it! only I just had to add this line

    require_once 'include/config.php'; 
    

    above

    require_once 'include/DB_Functions.php'; 
    

    and works but I dont understand why?

    Because in DB_Connect.php is same this line.
