[SOLVED] Global Arrays

[homar]

Hello!

 

I'm trying to create a global array in my script that can then be accessed and modified in my class methods.  E.g:

 

<<< START: script.php >>>

 

include("classes/someclass.php");

 

$var = array();

array_push($var, "value");

 

$obj = someclass::someMethod();

 

print_r($var);  ### Need this to output: ARRAY([0] => "value", [1] => "another value")

 

<<< END: script.php >>>

 

<<< START: someclass.php >>>

 

class someclass {

 

  public function someMethod() {

    array_push($var, "another value"); ### How can I update the value of $var here in this class

  }

 

}

 

<<< END: someclass.php >>>

 

Hopefully, you get the idea.

 

Thanks for your help!

Might I suggest you don't do that? It would create confusing, hard to manage code. Perhaps something like this is more reasonable?

 

<?php
class someclass {
  public static function someMethod() {
     return "another value";
  }
}

$var = array();
array_push($var, "value", someclass::someMethod());

print_r($var);

 

It's still a bit of a messy way to use a static function, but at least you aren't modifying globals in a confusing way.

array_push() is very slow compared to just using the empty bracket syntax, [], so I'd suggest not using it at all.
