jjacquay712 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 In the JavaScript Document Object Model you can assign a style by doing this: object.style.background-color = "Green"; I am trying to make something similar that. Here is my php code: class document { class style { var $bg-color = "red"; } var $doctype; var $title; var $body; var $script; var $style = new style; function genoratepage() { if ( $this->doctype == "trans" ) { echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'; } else if( $this->doctype == "trans") { echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">'; } echo '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>' . $this->title . '</title>'; if ( $this->script ) { echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n <!-- \n" . $this->script . "\n --></script>"; } } } this code gives me a syntax error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/johnj/public_html/class.php on line 3 can you declare an object within another object in php? EDIT: i dont think i was clear enough, my revised question is can you have $object->style->bg-color like in js?

Maq Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 For starters you have an extra '}'. Why are you having a class in another class? You should separate them and "extend" the first class to the second.

premiso Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I do not think in any language you can define a class within a class. In java they use inheritance and extending. PHP does not have "inheritance" yet, but you can extend. But I think you are looking at this the wrong way. Why have a separate class for style? Is there really a need for it? You can just make it a method of "document" and then you can call something like $document->changeStyle($newStyle); You could make it into two seperate classes, without extending or inheritance then have a method called "style" which creates/returns a new style object then something like this may work: $document->style()->setBackgroundColor("#ffffff"); (disregard that) You want to extend the class, if you have document extend style, document will have access to the style class functionality. I would look more into OOP and proper methodology of it. The parse error is because you are defining a class inside of a class.

Maq Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 @OP Maybe you should take a look at, classes. Seems like you are trying to do the equivalent of an accessor method in Java with get and set methods. What's the general goal here?
