Include a file into a class?

[LemonInflux]

<?php

class parent {
    var $child;

    function parent() {
        $this->child = new child;
    }
}

class child extends parent {
    var $var;
}

?>

 

Normally, I'd call parent->child->var to get the child var. However, I want to be able to include a file, in which I can use $this->var to call the var. I don't mean include a file containing the class, I mean include a separate file that can be treated as if it is in the child. Is there a way to do this?

 

I'm sorry if this is badly explained, but I can't think of a clear way to do this. I think the zend framework uses something like this, because you set things as $this->view->var and retrieve them in the view as $this->var. But I couldn't work out how they did it

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Include the file within a class or eval the code. In that way you'll be able to access $this for whatever object the file is called within.

..You mean a straight forward include() would work?

[Daniel0]

Yes. If you include it from within the class then you should be within the scope of that class and $this should consequently be available to you.

Woah, ok Thanks, I'll try it in a bit!
