#18864 [Com]: Nested Function within a class

ID: 18864 Comment by: pguillot@paanjaru.com Reported By: fathireza@yahoo.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: NT2000 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: Dear Fathi, I don't understand clearly what you want to do : Your variable is - recognized only in the function where it is defined - recognized everywhere if it is __global__ It seems you want to create a class-global var ! (Q: in which real case is it useful ? ) Could'nt you pass the var when calling your last function ? Anyhow, thanks to all for the dev, support and use cases ... After so much time using Php, i'm still amazed by it's power and speed (imho). Patrick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-13 04:06:34] rasmus@php.net What are you talking about? Run this: <? class A { var $someX; function b() { } function c() { $this->someX=1; } } $foo = new A; $foo->c(); echo $foo->someX; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-13 04:02:41] fathireza@yahoo.com 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
