Class HELP! Basic class just won't work properly

[robcrozier]

Hi.  I have a class called 'directory', defined as follows:

 

<?
// Directory Class
class directory{
var $id;
var $name;
var $path;
var $parentId;
var $accountId;

function directory(){
	// CONSTRUCTOR
	$this->id = "";
	$this->name = "";
	$this->path = "";
	$this->parentId = "";
	$this->accountId = "";
}

function getDirDetails($id){
	$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM directories WHERE id = '$id'");
	while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
		$this->name = $row['name'];
		$this->path = $row['path'];
		$this->parentId =  $row['parent'];
		$this->accountId =  $row['account_id'];
	}
}
}
?>

 

The class is included and an instance is made like so:

 

if (!class_exists("directory"))
include("classes/class.directory.php");

$directory = new directory;

 

HOWEVER....

 

When i go to use any var or method of the class, i get the following sorts of error messages:

 

Undefined property: Directory::$name

 

Can anyone help me figure out why it is not working????

 

Thanks

Can you post how you are accessing the methods of the class?

Hi, thanks for your quick response.

 

I'm accessing the methods like this:

 

$directory->getDirDetails($defaultDirId);

 

and vars like this:

 

$directory->name;
