Can’t make the public “static function check_account()” to work.

[Guntar]

Gentlemen,

I am straggling with the (public static function ()) I created.

//below is the similar sample function I created

<?php

class Account{

private static $account_1=false;

private static $account_2=false;

private static $account_3=false;

 

private static function set_vars(){

//this function will change class attributes (accounts)

}

 

public static function check_account(){

if(self::$account_1 && !self::$account_2){

return 4;

}elseif(self::$account_1 && self::$account_3){

return 3;

}else{

return 1;

}

}

}

?>

//end of Account class

Here is what I am ranning into:

When I call this function in any given page it works the way it was intended to work:

<?php

$test=Account::check_account();

//and I am able to echo the results back on the page

echo $test; //and it will return one of the three numbers (1 or 3 or 4)

?>

Then there are places in the code where I am calling this function to check the accounts.

<?php

// some processing

$test=Account::check_account();

//after this function I want to check what results it returned and baset on that I want to do something else

if($test==3){

send_email();

}

?>

The problem I am running into is after executing the function () I don’t get any results back. It will always return (1) because it is the default. But the function did execute because the account was updated.

Usually the code that does the testin is on different document and that document is being included in the page i.e.:

if(isset($_POST[‘submit’])){

include_once(“../processing/check_account_status.php”);

}

Can you guys tell me am I doing something wrong?

You'll have to show all code that you're using.  You haven't shown a real world scenario (you haven't set any vars and don't have code to do it).  Also, wrap your code in the php code tags using the button.
