note 57870 added to language.oop5.decon

Just a note on the __construct() function (in my example it's the classname but it has the same effect). When you try call a function outside the class, wich calls a function wich is inside the class in construction you will get a "Call to function on undefined object" error. The first piece of code shows a failing script. The seccond piece of code shows a work-around solution . Examples: The wrong code: <?php function foo($bar) { global $example; $example->friend(); } class example_class { function example_class() { foo('bar'); } function friend() { // Uhhh :) } } $example = new example_class; ?> The working code: <?php function foo($bar) { global $example; $example->friend(); } class example_class { function example_class() { // Some other code } function example_class_step2() { foo('bar'); } function friend() { // Uhhh :) } } $example = new example_class; $example->example_class_step2(); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.decon.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57870 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57870&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57870&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57870&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57870&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57870&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57870&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57870&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57870&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
