Re: classes and return values

I am attempting to work up a class and because I am unfamiliar with some of the code flow I am only able to get a return value of 'object'. How can I pull the data out of a class?

which data? It doesn't seem as if anyone knows what your trying to do. (try to explain it again) there is a difference between class and object - it's quite fundamental to the whole OO concept. <? // the following is a [php4] class class Test { var $foo = "bar"; function getData() { return $this->foo; } } // $t is an object (assuming an error doesn't occur when instantiating it) $t = new Test; // this is an echo statement that outputs the return val from a method call echo $t->getData(),"\n";

Any help, or pointers on what I am doing wrong is appreciated. class myAuth { var $user; var $pass; var $lvl; var $id; function login( $user, $pass ) { require 'templates/auth.tmplte.php'; global $defined, $error_message; if( ( empty( $user ) ) || ( empty( $pass ) ) ) { if( $_SESSION['count']++ >= 1 ) { $errors = "<img src=\"images/error.jpg\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>You need to provide a user name and password!</b><br><br>";

    }

$data = new myAuthTmplte(); $data->auth_template( 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, $errors ); logs( $error_message['str_chk'] ); } } }
