Cleaning up my classes...

[pthurmond]

I am trying to clean up my class to be more readable. Currently each property (aka variable) is declared on separate lines.

 

Example:

class user
{
     private $item;
     private $thing;
     private $whatever;
     //etc
}

 

Is is valid to instead write it like this?:

class user
{
     private $item, $thing, $whatever;
     //etc
}

 

This is roughly what is done in C++, with some minor differences since the variable type is declared as well.

Also I want to know if PHP allows function prototypes like C++ does. This is where you declare the function in the class and the list of possible parameters and then you define the functions either in another file or directly below the class in the same file. Can this be done in PHP as well?

 

 

Thanks,

Patrick

I'm afraid you can't do that.

his is where you declare the function in the class and the list of possible parameters and then you define the functions either in another file or directly below the class in the same file.

 

Not really what your looking for but you may want to look into abstraction or even using interfaces.

 

As for this...

 

private $item, $thing, $whatever;

 

Did you try it? Its valid.
