Re: Any way to make something happen when variable in classchanges?

Well, I've never done this in PHP, but in other OO programming languages you can overload the assignment operator, so when you assign a new value to a variable it would actually call a class-defined function that could make the new assignment, but also echo out any code you want it to do. Have you looked at this possibility? -Brad Leif K-Brooks wrote: > Yes, but it needs to run when it's changed. For example, when I change > the variable $var, it would echo "Changed!"
