Here is one way to work how you have it set up. [code]<?php // include the layout file include 'layout.php'; // include the config file include 'config.php'; //Get Page Content class get_page_content { var $p; var $p_title; function get_page_content() { $this->p = $_REQUEST['p']; if ($this->p == "") {$this->p = "main"; } $this->p_title = "ChrisLoveOnline : ".ucfirst($this->p);} function disp_incl(){     myheader("$this->p_title");     include "./include/$this->p.inc";     } } $p_content = new get_page_content(); $p_content->disp_incl(); ?>[/code] [/quote] Well, It works, to a degree. To get it to totally work, I had to remove $_REQUEST['p'] from new get_page_contents and changed $this->p = $p to $_REQUEST['p']; [b]Another Question...[/b] How to check to see if $_REQUEST['p'].inc exists, and if not, change $p to something like error (change unavailable/bad .inc file to error.inc)? Thanks, Chris

You can access them like you are, with $this. But if you are using a method in the class that requires variables to be passed to it, that is when you declare them with the method. [!--coloro:#990000--][span style=\"color:#990000\"][!--/coloro--]Jeremy[!--colorc--][/span][!--/colorc--] [/quote] If I'm understanding you, I don't need this: [code] var $p; var $p_title; [/code] Is that correct?

Hi, I'm trying to make a class in PHP4 to do: [a href=\"http://www.domain.com/?p=pagename\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.domain.com/?p=pagename[/a] [Pagename displayed] [code]<?php // include the layout file include 'layout.php'; // include the config file include 'config.php'; $p=$_GET['p']; //Get Page Content class get_page_content { var $p; var $p_title; function get_page_content() { if ($p == "") {$p = "main"; } $this->p = "$p"; $this->p_title = "ChrisLoveOnline : ".strtoupper($p);} function disp_incl($this->p,$this->p_title){     myheader("$this->p_title");     include "./include/$this->p.inc";     } } $p_content = new get_page_content(); $p_content->disp_incl($p); ?>[/code] Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in 'file' on line 15. From what I can tell, it's complaining about the , between variables in the function. I'm new to classes. I'm also looking at how I can show an error page if the page isn't found. $p = pagename and $p.inc is include file. Thanks, Chris

Thanks all, I used an example from an article, and it makes sense. Thanks again, Chris

Thanks for the quick reply. I know that's probably an "over asked" question, but I just couldn't seem to locate an answer. I guess I wasn't generalizing enough. (is that spelled right? [img src=\"http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/style_images/1/folder_post_icons/icon1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IPB Image\" /] ) I'll take a look into it. Thanks again, Chris

Can a PHP form write information to a config.php file, or is there a special extension? Thanks, Chris

I would say this whole thread is a blank screen. LOL! :( I didn't place thread, just commenting on "What?" happened...

Example (from Gallery 2) $urlGenerator->makeUrl($path)); for this "->", does it mean something like this? $variable "execute and set return value = to $variable" makeURL(to "$path variable" in this case)? Just trying to understand some of the more complicated code in Gallery. Thanks, Chris

I just wanted to be able to change them, if the need arose. If this isn't possible, I understand. Can someone clarify this?

Hi, I've been using PHP / MySQL for a couple of months, off and on, to update my news section on my site. I am trying to change the "primary key", to move a story up to the top. It pulls from the database, the story_number (news story number). It pastes 2 times, one to a disabled input box, and 1 to an "update" input box that I can edit. It keeps telling me "can't add to table" , which means the query is not good. I tried putting the query, with data, in PHPMyAdmin and it works fine. I can't figure out what is wrong. Thanks, Chris Clip from 1 php file Sorry this is SO BIG... :( EDIT: Should this be in the MySQL forum??
