Class question?

[Guest askjames01]

OK, i think i'm starting to full in love with the CLASS.

$mg2->getlanguages();

is this mean assignment;
fetch properties from getlanguages() and assign them into $mg2 'Class'?

or

simply call getlanguages(); function to execute?

Which do you think are correct? or are they all wrong and you have a much more
better idea? then let me know? please i need to master CLASS.

any help will be very appreciated... thanks n advance.

neither

first off - if this is out side the class then unless you have instantiated a class and given it the identifier $mg2 then it will throw an error.

So first you would need something like...

$mg2 = new YourClass;

now if you simply had

$mg2->getlanguages();

then providing that function was defined in your class it will be 'executed' but unless you have anything in you function to perform anything - like set a session var or print info or something it won't help you much. For example - if the function simply queried the database for what languages were installed and nothing else you could not access any of that info.

now if you did...

$info = $mg2->getlanguages();

this would return teh result of the function and you now have access to it so you can do 'stuff'.

I don't want to argue with this code, because it came from a photogallery script
which i'm currently studying piece by piece & code by code and the entire script
run very well without error.

here take a look for yourself;

so i assume that single line of code works very fine.
and then base on your explanation this is an execution right?

[code]$mg2->getlanguages();[/code]
Yes what the code does is execute the function getlanguages in the [b]mg2[/b] class.
I think what getlanguages() function does is gets all the lanaguges from a database and then stores them in a variabale in side the mg2 class.
