Re: Re: Classes in PHP5 || Puzzling Problem || Trying to Set $this->$name = $value

Hey Stu. Well, isn't that special ;--) Jesus, I kept echoing $this->$foo within the parent class and getting 0, instead of 1. You wrote your reply; I checked the results again, and, voila, it worked -- obviously I must have been missing something and corrected the mistake in my endless trial and error process, lol. In any case, thanks for sorting me out! -Noah "Stut" <stuttle@gmail.com> wrote in message news:45F09D3B.3080301@gmail.com... > PHP wrote: >> Problem: >> >> Class test { >> >> var $foo = 0; >> >> function __construct() { >> $this->myfunc("foo", 1); >> } >> >> function myfunc($name, $val) { >> $this->$name = $val; >> } >> } >> >> Now, PHP correctly evaluates $this->$name as 0; i.e. the default property >> value of $this->foo. >> >> However, what I really need to have happen is for $this->$name = $val to >> be evaluated as $this->foo = 1; > > Works fine here: http://dev.stut.net/php/classvar.php > > What do you get? > > -Stut
