Creating HTML helper, need help!

spaze · March 19, 2008

Hello all!

I am developing an HTML helper for my own use and don't know exactly if I am doing the right thing.

I have a PHP script that includes a file called "helper.class" which contains class helper.

$html = new Helper;

$content .= $html->start();

$content .= $html->dotag( "body", array ( "class" => "myclass" ) );

in the Class Helper there is a function called start().

class Helper

{

function start()

{

return "<html>";

}

So the above would produce output of:

<html>

My question is this:

Is there a way I could do this with following way:

$html = new Helper;

$html->start();

$html->dotag( "body", array ( "class" => "myclass" ) );

So in other words, can I call the functions in the class and add the results into a variable without using the $content .= portion?

you could but you would need to tweak the functions to add it to a global or global class variable,

eg:

class Helper
{
   function start()
   {
      return "<html>";
   }
}

would become:

class Helper
{
   function start()
   {
      Global $content;
      $content .= "<html>";
   }
}

hope this helps,
