Hi all, I've be developing with a structured approach for a long time
and am working at improving my site by adding some classes etc. I
however, am running into an odd thing that I can't figure out what a
reasonable search syntax would yield the desired solution. The problem
is as follows:
class a {
var $thisVar;
...
}
class b {
function hello()
{
echo $first->thisVar;
}
}
$first = new a();
$first->thisVar = "world";
$second = new b();
$second->hello();
There are a number of variables and methods that are common throughout
the user's session that I'm storing in object $first. Class b has
nothing in common with a except that it needs a couple of the variables
stored in the object that is hanging around in the session.
Is $first->thisVar the wrong way to reference that variable? How can I
get to it?
TIA,
Larry
