variable scope

[joesaddigh]

Hi,

 

Is there any way of making a file which contains a member variable which I can then access by using a getter or setter function. If so can I do this from another file. For example in C++ you can make a private variable and access it from another class by using a public getter method which I could access via a pointer to that class.

 

Is there something simmilar that I could do with php??

 

Thanks

 

Joe

Yes.

 

first file

class A {
private $a = 4;

public function getA () {
	return $this->a;
}
}

 

second file

require 'file1';
$obja = new A();
echo $obja->getA();

I see.. It is litterally the same syntax..

 

I will use this from now on. I have been being lazy and storing session variables which is stupid.

 

I need to get into the OO side of php.

 

Thanks very much for your help
