Displaying static properties in a string

[eldan88]

Hey Guys. I am new to working with static properties. I have defined a satic property and trying to echo it out in a input field string. But it won't echo out. Does any one know why??

 

Below is my code. Thanks in advance

class html_generator extends validation {
  
    public static $input_class;


   public function __construct() {

     self::$input_class = (isIphone()) ? "mobile_text_field" : "";

   }


//Input string I i am trying to echo out the input_class

"<input type='text' id='name' name='name' class='{html_generator::$input_class}' >"

you need to remove the $ in front of $input_class

Oh okay. Does that only apply for strings?

 

Because I have another static property where is put a $ infront of it... for example class::$prop and it worked fine...

.josh. I tried removing the $ and it still isn't functioning properly. I even went ahead and debugged my code...

[eldan88]

The only way it works is by concatenating like so....

"<input type='text' id='name' name='name' class=". html_generator::$input_class_test . " value='{$post_values->name}' >"

Josh was referring to the '$' here:

 

html_generator::$input_class
