$GLOBALS? pass variable to class without passing through function par list.

[Anti-Moronic]

I have this variable:

 

$string = "string";

 

I want it to be accessible within my class and function:

 

class someclass{

 

function speak(){

 

echo $test;

 

}

 

}

 

Currently, I define $test as global within the func, and all is ok, I can now use it within that func. My question is, how secure is this, does this have anything to do with register_globals? Is there an alternative?

 

Remember, I can't pass these variables into the function.

 

Thanks.

Why? The point of classes is encapsulation. Relying on global variables breaks this completely.

How secure is what? The code you posted doesn't work, nor does it have anything to do with register_globals.

Hey, I think you want something like this.

 

class fooClass {

   function speak($bar) {
      echo $bar;
   }

}

$foo_class = new fooClass;
$foo = "bar";
$foo_class->speak($foo);

 

That sends a variable from you script to the class method 'speak'. And then you do whatever you want with it.

 

Unless the string assigned to $foo is coming from a $_POST, $_GET or other request method this has nothing to do with register_globals.

 

This is not good class syntax, jsut an example.

I know, I pass variables to functions all the time. What I'm asking is, does this:

 

$test = "hello";

 

class{

 

function speak(){

 

global $test;

 

echo $test

 

}

 

}

 

...have anything to do with register_globals? By making the $test variable global?

 

Thanks.

No, but it also defeats the purpose of using objects.
