Class Help

[Kryptix]

I have a simple class like this:

 

<?php
class packet {
	private $SERVER = "192.168.1.100";
}
?>

 

This works fine on localhost but on the server the $SERVER variable needs to be "72.20.32.58" instead. It's a pain having to keep changing this manually and using "localhost" doesn't work for some reason.

 

I wanted to use $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] but it errors when I use it. I have an issue with PHP/Apache which means I can't see the error that it returns.

 

Can anyone tell me how I could set the $SERVER variable to $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] in the class?

You can't set the value of a variable to a dynamic value, which includes $_SERVER, in the class's variable declarations.  Instead you can set it in the constructor.

Meaning this:

class packet {
private $SERVER;
function __construct() { //or packet() if on PHP4
	$this->SERVER = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
}
}

Meaning this:

class packet {
private $SERVER;
function __construct() { //or packet() if on PHP4
	$this->SERVER = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
}
}

Thanks mate.
