echo nothing?

[begeiste]

Hi,

I have created a class "friendClass" and tried to echo it. It prints nothing without any errors, not sure what was it going on? Any helps would be appreciated!

        class friendClass{
            
                //attributes - variable
                public $name;
                public $sex;
                public $title;
                public $country;
                
                //methods - function
                public function eat(){}
                public function watch(){}
                public function drive(){}
                public function speak(){}    
                
            }
            
            $friend1 = new friendClass;
            $friend2 = new friendClass;
            $friend3 = new friendClass;
            $friend4 = new friendClass;
            
            $friend1 -> name = "Bach";
            $friend1 -> title = "Muscian";
            $friend1 -> sex = "Male";
            $friend1 -> country = "Germany";
            
            $friend1 -> eat("Bread");
            $friend1 -> speak("German");
            $friend1 -> drive("Horse");
            $friend1 -> watch("Beethoven");
            
            echo "Name is: ".$friend1->name;

I don't see an opening PHP tag. Did you post your entire code? And are you running PHP 5?

Yes. I have opening and closing php tag.

Your code outputs - Name is: Bach

 

If you didn't get anything, either your actual code contains a php error, your opening php tag isn't a full <?php tag, php isn't installed and running on your server, or you didn't browse to the URL of your page in your browser. What does a 'view source' of the page in your browser show? What URL did you browse to (it should be something like http://localhost/your_file.php on your local development system)?
