Hello I have a class called Member, it has member function called vallidateForm(), i try to pass it a $HTTP_POST_VARS array it looks like this: clas Member{ var $HTTP_POST_VARS; function vallidateForm ($HTTP_POST_VARS){

} }

Syntax here is wrong; you don't need to declare function arguments using var; only class variables need that. I'm uncertain what will happen if you do this. I would expect that - if PHP's error reporting were turned up to the maximum - it might give you a warning message. So do either: (1) Drop the 'var $HTTP_POST_VARS line; OR do (2) clas Member{ var $HTTP_POST_VARS; function vallidateForm (){

    echo $this->HTTP_POST_VARS['frmUsername'];

} } Although option (2) would require rewriting the code below. Also I assume that the 'clas Member{' line is just a typo, and your actual code says 'class Member{'...

$user = new Member; if($action=="register"){ global $HTTP_POST_VARS; $user->vallidateForm($HTTP_POST_VARS); }else{ $user->displayForm(); } ?> But i can't acces $HTTP_POST_VARS['frmUsername'] within the function

If you are using an old (any PHP3.x, and I think some early betas of PHP4) version of PHP, you need to turn 'track_vars' on to enable $HTTP_POST_VARS and other $HTTP_xxx_VARS arrays. If that's the case - and you can't upgrade immediately - you need to turn track_vars on in httpd.conf, php.ini, or .htaccess (whatever's appropriate in your setup).
