RE: [PHP4BETA] A quick clarification question about PHP4...

[Jim Brain>] I didn't mean to start a war, just wanted to know what I should do. As it is, I am going to restrict passing variables in the init code, since I can't see how I could pass them in a way that would not break. As for the var stuff, are you saying that: Class junk { function junk() { $hi="jim"; } } would then create a var called $hi in the class (as if I had done a var $hi global to the class) which I can thenuse elsewhere as $this->hi? As for the init code, it seems you really can't pass anything useful to an init function, which implies that: $jim=new junk; Would work better than $jim=new junk(); Since the latter begs to have args in the list... Maybe it needs to be left in for compatibility reasons, but us developers are a twisted group. If it looks like a function, we'll pass stuff to it. The only downside to all of this discussion is that I wrote my entire company's Intranet in PHP3 and put vars in most of my constructors (my DB class gets the DB, UID, and PW when constructed, which will be a bummer to rewrite...).
