Catchable fatal error: Object of class classname could not be converted to st

[Jagand]

Hi! I am getting the following error in my code: Catchable fatal error: Object of class classname could not be converted to string in "file name" on line ...

 

My class definition:

 

class classname {

 

var $my_variable;

 

function checkString($input) {

$this->my_variable= preg_match("/name/",$input);

return $this->my_variable;

}

 

}

 

PHP code:

$get_return = new classname;

$get_return->checkString($input);

print "$get_return <br/>";

 

 

Can someone help me?

your trying to print $get_return as your trying to convert a object to a string it will throw an errors you cannot convert an object to a string your code should be

 

$get_return = new classname;
echo $get_return->checkString($input);
