Hi all, here is the code I am having problem with:
============================================
class baseForm {
private $_id = 10;
function __get($member)
{
echo "Accessing member \"{$member}\" : <br />\n";
return $this->$member;
}
function checkID()
{
echo $this->_id."<br />\n";} } class inputText extends baseForm { function display() {
$this->checkID();
echo $this->_id."<br />\n";
}
}
$f = new inputText();
echo $f -> display();
============================================
The question is: why the string 'Accessing member "_id" :' is only displayed once? If you look at the code - it actually accesses $_id member TWICE. But __get() gets gets triggered only once. WHY?!!
From what I see, the __get() accessor function is triggerred only from OUTSIDE the class.
PHP Version 5.1.6, installed on Win32 (unfortunately).
Thank you in advance,
Temuri
