[SOLVED] Passing an Object by parameter creates an object, but cannot access the methods.

[stricks1984]

Hello,

 

I have the following directory structure:

 

/Program.php

 

/Sections/Section.php

 

/Sections/Inputs/Input.php

 

In Program.php I have the following:

 

require('Sections/Inputs/Input.php');
require('Sections/Section.php');

...

array_push($this->sections, new Section('ff', 'ff', new Input('title', 'text')));  // Where problem begins.

 

In Section.php I have:

 

private $input_type;
private $id;
private $headerTitle;

        function __construct($id, $header, $input){

	$this->id = $id;
	$this->headerTitle = $header;
	$this->input_type = input; 
	$this->input_type->make();  // DOES NOT WORK

// PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function make() on a non-object

}

 

Code for Input.php:

 

class Input {

	private $display;
	private $id;

	public function __construct($id){
		$this->id = $id;
		$this->display = '';
	}


                public function make(){  error_log('Gets called, during creation, but can't access this method'); }

	public function display(){

		return $this->display;
	}

	public function getID(){
		return $this->id;
	}

 

I know this has something to do with reference and such, but I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong.  I'm running PHP 5>.

 

Any help would greatly be appericated.

If I call a bogus method:

 

$this->input_type->bogus();

 

I get: Call to undefined method Input::bogus()

 

With non-bogus:  PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function make() on a non-object

[flyhoney]

$this->input_type = input; 

 

should be

 

$this->input_type = $input;

Sorry, that's how it is.  It was a typo.

[stricks1984]

When I do echo print_r($input);  I get the following:

 

Input Object ( [type:private] => text [display:private] => [id:private] => title [display] =>  [js] => ) 

[stricks1984]

Ok, so I found the problem...

 

In Section.php :

 

	private $input_type;  // The object being passed as parameter. 

 

Needed to be either protected or public.

 

Wow, I don't know how I didn't see that.
