[SOLVED] array

[Jibberish]

Hi there, I'm quite new to php so sorry if this is a silly mistake.

 

basically i have a class which looks kind of like this

 

class someClass {

 

private $array = array();

 

      function __construct() {

          $array[1] = "hello";

          $array[2] = "goodbye";

      }

      function getGreeting ($i) {

          return $this->array[$i];

      }

}

 

$greeting = new someClass();

echo $greeting->getGreeting(1);

 

When i do this, instead of getting "hello" it outputs nothing.

 

any help would be great, thanks in advance.

Try:

 

<?php
class someClass {

private $array = array();

      function __construct() {
           $this->array[1] = "hello";
           $this->array[2] = "goodbye";
      }
      function getGreeting ($i) {
           return $this->array[$i];
      }
}
$greeting = new someClass();
echo $greeting->getGreeting(1);
?>

 

You always need the to use $this-> when using class attributes.

cant believe i did that, been looking at that for ages as well and it didn't even appear to me.

 

Thanks a lot, you saved me from going insane.

No worries. It's usually the simple things that you don't spot. Can you mark the topic as solved if you're all done?
