Re: About Classes and Scope

ummmm NOPE... i don't believe that nick was looking for a constant - which cannot be changed once defined. there are a few ways to do this - for one, you can declare $var global inside of the function in your class: class myclass{ function myclass(){ global $var; //do some stuff } } when you invoke a class instance with a function that shares the same name as the calling class it executes automatically. by declaring this $var global it should be accessible to the rest of the functions. another way to do this without declaring the $var as a global is to pass it to the function explicitly: function myclass($var){ //do stuff with $var } ~Phillip Jackson "Nick Wilson" <nick@stylesheet.org> wrote in message news:20040218093115.GA24334@stylesheet.org... > > * and then Nick Wilson declared.... > > <?php > > $myconfig=TRUE; > > > > class myclass { > > > > if($myconfig) { > > var $something=1; > > } > > } > > > > I know that that is not the way it should be done though.
