#18864 [Bgs->Opn]: Nested Function within a class

ID: 18864 User updated by: fathireza@yahoo.com Reported By: fathireza@yahoo.com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: NT2000 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: Well dear rasmus what you said is totally meaningless. Try to access "this" variable in any order of function calling that you wish, but it is not accessible in any case. These comments are worthless and does not solve the scoping problem with php 4.2.2. Thanks.. R. Fathi Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-13 03:56:14] rasmus@php.net There is absolutely no difference between: function b() { function c() { } } and: function b() { } function c() { } in terms of their calling scope. They are identical. It's not like function c won't be defined until function b is called in the first case. So what you are doing is meaningless. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-13 03:36:10] fathireza@yahoo.com "Why would you need this functionality?" does not really answer my question/problem. Anyhow there is a reason for it and I am developing some reusable classes for the project I am working on. Thanks... Anyhow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-13 01:03:30] kalowsky@php.net Why would you need this functionality? Why not just create a second function within the class, and call it there? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-12 04:07:51] fathireza@yahoo.com Hello, I have no access to "this variable" within the nested function. class A{ var someX; function b() { function c() { $this->someX=1; //Error this variable unknow here } } } Best regards...
