Variable from one Function to another

[JarrodCoder]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use the user input submitted and given to registerStageOne(). It's given by parameters in the function, then it returns the array. Here's the code:

 

userCore.php

class userCore {
		
		public $registerStageOne = array();
		public $registerStageTwo = array();
		
		
		public function registerStageTwo($d, $m, $y, $g) {
		require_once("cmsCore.php");
			$registerStageOne = array($d, $m, $y, $g);
			return $registerStageOne;
		}
		
		public function registerStageThree($u, $e, $p, $rp) {
			if($p==$rp) {
				echo 'they match!';
				$registerStageTwo = array($u, $e, $p, $rp);
				echo $registerStageTwo[1];
				
			}
			else {
				echo 'Your Passwords do not match!';
			}
		}
		
	}
	
$userCore = new userCore();

register.php:

<?php
	if(!isset($_GET['stage'])) {
		require_once($obj->getTPLDir() . "register-one.tpl");
	} else {
		switch($_GET['stage']) {
			case "2":
			if(empty($_POST['bean_day']) || empty($_POST['bean_month']) || empty($_POST['bean_year'])) {
				echo 'you have not filled out the form.';
			}
			$usersCore->registerStageTwo($_POST['bean_day'],$_POST['bean_month'],$_POST['bean_year'],$_POST['bean_gender']);
			require_once($obj->getTPLDir() . "register-two.tpl");
			break;
			
			case "3":
			$usersCore->registerStageThree($_POST['bean.name'], $_POST['bean.email'], $_POST['bean.password'], $_POST['bean.retypedPassword']);
			// require_once($obj->getTPLDir() . "register-three.tpl");
			break;
		}
	}
?>

I want to take the data from $usersCore->registerStageTwo() and hold it (or pass it down to $usersCore->registerStageThree()) the reason I want it here is so that I can import it into the database at the end of stage three.

 

Many thanks for your help.

i think you have a bit of a misguided view of what oop is. I advise taking a step back and reading a little more into the concepts of object orientation. I dont think me re writing you attemplt at a class will really benifit you

Thanks for the response, so where exactly is my view misguided?

that's not really an object.  You have basicly written procedural code and wrapped an object container around it, you could actualy take away the class{} from the outside of that code, drop the scope deffinitions and that would work just as it is in the raw page.

 

Some key points to address -

you have echo's within the methods within your object

you never actually assign anything to your objects parameters

you have a require within your object

you have everything as public

and - not specific to oop, but - you have a method named the same as a parameter
