Set Variables With PHP Class

[ShoeLace1291]

I have a class that gets the info for a specific user(not necessarily the user that is logged in) and puts it into an array.  I include the class file at the top of a php page using include('classes/member.php').  How would I use the class to output a certain bit of information like this:

 

echo $member->getinfo->displayName($memberID);

 

This would be my regular PHP page:

<?php

include('classes/member.php');
$member = new member;
$memberID = 1;
echo $member->getinfo->displayName($memberID);

?>

 

This is my php class:

<?php

class member {

     	function getinfo($memberID){

	$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE memberID = '".$memberID."' LIMIT 1") or die("Member3: ".mysql_error());
	$memberinfo=mysql_fetch_array($query);
	$member = array(
					'memberID' => $memberinfo["memberID"],
					'displayName' => $memberinfo["displayName"],
					'email' => $memberinfo["email"]
					);
}
}
?>

Take a look at the following code and see what you think. There are another two methods that need to be made to have it nice and open for you. If you don't understand anything just ask.

 

<?php

class member {

var $member = array();

function setinfo($memberID){
	$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE memberID = '".$memberID."' LIMIT 1") or die("Member3: ".mysql_error());
	$memberinfo=mysql_fetch_array($query);
	$this->member = array(
		'memberID' => $memberinfo["memberID"],
		'displayName' => $memberinfo["displayName"],
		'email' => $memberinfo["email"]
	);
}

function getinfo(){
	if(empty($this->member))
		return FALSE
	else
		return $this->member;
}

function getid(){
	if(empty($this->member))
		return FALSE
	else
		return $this->member['memberID'];
}
}
?>

Your setinfo() method needs cleaning up too.

 

function setinfo($memberID){
  if ($query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE memberID = '".$memberID."' LIMIT 1")) {
    if (mysql_num_rows($query)) {
      $this->member = mysql_fetch_array($query);
      return true;
    }
  }
  return false;
}
