Re: Property Accessors 1.2 : parent::$foo Issue

Uhm.. brain fart. I was thinking $this->$foo was normal when I wrote this up, I would change my last statement from the earlier email to any syntax which did not include a $. That being said then, I think I favor parent->foo the best. One other possible alternative would be to treat parent "like a variable..." $parent->foo On 1/4/2013 5:09 AM, Clint Priest wrote:

Speaking of which, parent::foo ( with :: but no $) might work as well, almost *any* character change could work... parent:::$foo parent:$foo parent->$foo parent->foo parent.$foo parent.foo I favor having the $ in some solution though... -Clint On Jan 4, 2013, at 5:04 AM, Clint Priest <cpriest@zerocue.com> wrote:

Hi!

A recent suggestion from Stas is to use parent->$foo (note the use of -> rather than ::)

I actually proposed parent->foo. parent->$foo implies the name of the variable is "$foo", not "foo" - just as in $this->$foo. Yes, I know it does not match parent::$foo - but I can't do much about it. In any case, better not to add another inconsistency to the list of existing ones. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
