set public variable in class using switch

[Lingo]

Ok so I have a class with a switch that changes a variable in the class depending on some conditions. 
 

Safe to say it doesnt work.

         
         $trainSloppyCheeseMen = new trainSloppyCheeseMen(); // Get train class
         $sloppyCheeseLock = new sloppyCheeseLock(); // Get sql inject scrubber class.
		 
		 

            $trainSloppyCheeseMen->type = 1; // Type is Orbital Platform
            

	

          //die("a");
            $sloppyCheeseLock->vulnerable = $_POST['miner'];
            $sloppyCheeseLock->sloppyUniverseProtect();
				
				
            $trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt = $sloppyCheeseLock->sloppyUniverseProtect();// Amount to Train


  switch ($trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt){
                
                case $trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt <= 10000:
                $trainSloppyCheeseMen->turns = 1; 
                break;
            
                case $trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt >= 10001 && $trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt <= 100000:
                $trainSloppyCheeseMen->turns = 2; 
                break;
            
                case $trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt >= 100001 && $trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt <= 5000000:
                $trainSloppyCheeseMen->turns = 5; 
                break;
            
                case $trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt >= 5000001 && $trainSloppyCheeseMen->amt <= 20000000:
                $trainSloppyCheeseMen->turns = 15; 
                break;
            
            
            
                default:
                $trainSloppyCheeseMen->turns = 1; // How many turns to train these buggers
                break;
                
            }

die($trainSloppyCheeseMen->turns);

They variable turns in the class is set to public but when I die it returns nothing.

 

Please help thanks,

die($trainSloppyCheeseMen->turns);

If you give an integer to die() then it will not be printed.

 

die

 

If you want to see the value,

die($trainSloppyCheeseMen->turns . " turns");

make it not an integer.

Same as topic: http://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/283709-my-first-class/?do=findComment&comment=1457483 with the same answer..

 

If you are going to use objects at least learn to use them properly:

 

$cheeseMen = new TrainSloppyCheeseMen($amount);
$cheeseMen->getTurns();

Where getTurns contains your switch code and operates on $this->amount
