using php include

[hairyhi]

Hi check out the following code:

<?php
include("config.php");
class A
{
private $x;
function B()
{
echo $var1;
}
};

Alright in the above sample code.. the problem I m facing is: in case the variable var1 resides in config.php, I am not able to access it inside the function B of class A. This works on some versions of PHP, but not in the one i m using (5.2.6). One solution is to use a global keyword before var1, but I need a proper solution, like a case with a lot of vars. I cannot go on marking every var as global... Also there is a case where I need to use it in many functions, so I cannot also initialise it inside a function.

 

Plz help.

you could try somthing along the lines of

 

include.php

 

<?php

class foo {
$var1='hello'

   function getVar{
     return this->var1;
   }
}
?>

 

 

index.php

 

<?php
include 'include.php';

class A {
  function B {
     $foo = new foo();
     echo $foo->getVar1;
  }
}
?>

What about this method:

 

<?php

require_once("config.php");

class A {
private $x;

function __construct ($x) {
	$this->x = $x;
}

function getX () {
	return $this->x;
}
}

$woot = new A($var1);

?>

It really does depend on what var1 is...

Is it a configuration setting for your whole application? If so it should probably be kep in a registry class of some sort, or alternatively made into a constant (so that it can be referenced).

If, on the other hand, it's specific to class A then it should almost certainly be put into class A as a private/protected/public member variable...

 

The choice is yours.
