run function when class is created

[ratcateme]

I am making an IRC admin bot. i am new to using OOP and i am using it for my bot.

i want to call a script that will connect to the server and open a MYSQL connection when the class is called.

is this even possible.

hi scott,

yeah the function can be called from the class being created. and it can done like this

 

class MyClass{

 

  function DoSomeThing($host,$username,$pass){

 

  //your code for mysql connections come here like mysql_connect etc...

 

  }//function ends here

}//class ends here

Now you can create the object of this class and can pass the host,username and password to connect to mysql

For example

 

$ConnectorObj=new MyClass();

$ConnectorObj->DoSomeThing($host,$username,$pass);

 

Note: Don't forget to include the class php where you are using the class like include('MyClass.php');

Thanks!

name the function __construct() if you want it to be run on object creation.

 

for instance

 

class myClass
{
    public function __construct($var)
    {
      // do stuff on creation, you can specify parameters as shown
      echo $var;
    }
}

$myObject = new myClass("yezzir"); // will output yezzir
