Classes Help

[Motig]

Hi all, I'm new to classes in php, though I'm used to them in other languages.

Not seeing what I'm doing wrong here. I get the error "Cannot access empty property".

 

My code:

 

$user = new Player(0);
echo $user->$name;

 

And the class itself:

 

class Player {
public $id = 0;
    public $name = "???";
public $pass = "";

    public function __construct($f_id) {
	if ($f_id == 0) return;
                //there is other stuff under this but is irrelevant
    }
}

 

Surely $user->$name should be "???"?

 

Thanks.

it should be

$user->name;

 

using what you had makes PHP think you are using a variable variables (instead of accessing the name attribute, you are trying to access the attribute whose name is the value of $name. For example if $name is equal to "pass" then saying $user->$name is the same as saying $user->pass)

Ah, right, thank you.
