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

Apologies if i missed something, but I'm doing an entire site where all of the document managment code relies on wrapper classes. i.e. if a new document is uploaded, it is instantiaited as new Document($_type), where $_type is a string "html" or "gif" or the like. its not referenced. Document class then instantiates a new class of the proper type inside itself, and everything is transparent from the outside, i.e. Document->view() will return the file for html, or an <img> tag for a gif. will this still work? tia Bill Ahern On Mon, 30 Aug 1999, you wrote: > It does work fine in PHP3, and I think it will work in PHP4 as well, as long > as the values passed in the init code are not variables, just values of some > type that can be determined at "compile" (or parse) time. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Stevenson [mailto:scott@maxify.com] > Sent: Friday, August 27, 1999 9:41 PM > To: php4beta@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP4BETA] A quick clarification question about PHP4... > > Jim Brain said: > > > 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(); > > I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to pass stuff there.
