Convert ($this -> variableName) to ($variableName) ??

[NeoMarine]

Is it possible to convert $this -> variableName to $variableName?

 

I want to somehow loop through all the variables in scope (get_defined_vars()) and have the variables set in as $variableName so I can then just type:

 

echo $variableName

 

instead of

 

echo $this->$variableName

 

thanks

$variableName = $this->variableName;

You can learn a lot through trial and error

Actually guys, it sounds like he wants them dynamically generated.

[NeoMarine]

that's right, dynamically!

 

but how?

 

I tried a foreach loop with get_defined_vars but that doesn't seem to work

I'd try like this

 

foreach($this as $property => $value) {
  $$property = $value
}

 

not tested

[NeoMarine]

Wow, it worked! Thanks a bunch!

 

one more Question though,

 

what the heck is $$ (double $) for $$property, when I took that out  it failed

[Mchl]

This is how you define variable variables

Awesome, I was wondering how to do that.. thanks
