Help WIth Object

[refiking]

Ok. So, I'm trying to retrieve the id value from an object.  Here is the code I have that works so far:

$object = 'object';
$koid = $this->$object;
echo '<pre>'; print_r($koid); echo '</pre>';

 

and this is what is returns:

Order Object
(
    [id:protected] => 5
    [stand_by:protected] => test
    [problem:protected] => test
)

 

what do I need to do to make $koid equal the id value (5 in this case)?

Well, the code you provided isn't going to output that. So, assuming the object looks like this:

$object = (object) array('id' => 5, 'stand_by' => 'test', 'problem' => 'test');

 

Then you would get "id" by doing

$koid = $object->id;

That didn't work.  I also tried this and it didn't work either:

$koid = $this->object['id'];
echo '<pre>'; print_r($koid); echo '</pre>';

$this is only usable in classes. And you are trying to access the object as if it were an array, which it isn't.

Ok, so what do I need to do to retrieve the id?

[scootstah]

I already showed you how to retrieve a value from an object.

 

Post your actual code.

What are you talking about?  That is my actual code...  Same variables and same results exactly.  I don't set the id.  I am just trying to retrieve it, so I don't create the object.

Post more than 3 lines so I can see what is going on.

ohhhh..sorry

<?
class OrderForm extends BaseOrderForm
{ 

  static protected $choices = array(1 => 'OPEN',2	=> 'CLOSED');
  
   static public function getStatusChoices()
  {
    return self::$choices;
  }
  

  public function configure()
  {
  	
  	$years = range(2009, 2012); //Creates array of years between 2009-2012
$years_list = array_combine($years, $years); //Creates new array where key and value are both values from $years list
$koid = $this->object;
echo '<pre>'; print_r($koid); echo '</pre>';
  	$this->setWidgets(array(
      'id'          => new sfWidgetFormInputHidden(),
      'stand_by'    => new sfWidgetFormInput(array('label' => ' Stand By')),
      'problem'     => new sfWidgetFormInput(array('label' => ' Problem')),
    ));

    $this->setValidators(array(
      'id'          => new sfValidatorPropelChoice(array('model' => 'Order', 'column' => 'id', 'required' => false)),
      'stand_by'    => new sfValidatorString(array('max_length' => 5, 'required' => false)),
      'problem'     => new sfValidatorString(array('max_length' => 50, 'required' => false)),
    ));
  }
  

  

}

bump...any takers?

[scootstah]

I still don't know what you are trying to do with $this->object.

The member is protected, use a public accessor

public function getID()
{
   return $this->id;
}

 

// edit

 

//instantiate object
$object = new className();
echo $object->getID();
