variable isn't getting passed along.

Example of what's happening:

class MyClass {
private $items = array();

function dostuffwithitems() {
do stuff;
return $this->items;
}

function dosmthelse() {
print_r($this->items);
}
}

I did the print_r to test because my second function wasn't working, and it just echo'ed array( )... It's still empty, if I change the private var to 'boo', it prints 'boo' instead of the array I built with the first function... I've tried it with other variables too, nothing prints correctly or returns like it should...

Anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I don't need a line specific correction here, I just need some pointers to know where to look at... Did I probably forget to mention a $this-> somewhere, could it be a typo or is it some php setting...

 

I'm completely at a loss here, I don't know where to look at.

How are you calling the function?

 

$test = new myclass();
$test->dostuffwithitems(); // this wouldnt work i dont think as your returning an array to nowhere.

 

I think you need to change the function a little.

maybee a little like this.

 

function dostuffwithitems() {
$stuff = array('asdf','iuayhdiufayhi','yy4nehdu');
$this->items = $stuff; // <------
return true;
}

 

or call your function into a variable.

 

$myclass->items = $myclass->dostuffwithitems();

hmm, i totally forgot about htis topic. the problem has been solved... I rewrote a part of the class indeed, but also changed the order of which fucntions i'm calling in index.php, i think the problem might've been there.... dunno for sure though.

 

Anyway, it's solved. thanks for the info though!

I don't think you should output to the browser with any type of print statement directly from the object.

 

I think you should returned the result to your application then have your application output to browser
