Strange problems with PHP4 (OOP)


olegk

Recommended Posts

This code prints out "AB", and it should print out "AA". What's wrong with me?

PHP 4.4.2

<?php

class test
{
  var $a="";
  var $b="";
  function testfunc()
  {
      $this->$a="A";
      echo $this->$a;
      $this->$b="B";
      echo $this->$a;
  }
}

$t=new test;
$t->testfunc();

?>

should the line in red be:

No, that's the point. If it were $this->$b, I would expect the code to print "AB", but I print out $this-$a twice, and for some reason the second time it turns into "B"

To access your vars that is in the same class/function you need to use $this->[b]youVarNameHere[/b] just as drkstr pointed out above. This is the same for PHP4 and PHP5.
You do not put the dollar sign after $this-> you just the name of the variable, ie $this->a
