Passing many values to the function

[Anon]

Hello guys

I have a class here, and i want to pass $HTTP_POST_VARS to one of the function, but i get error message when i want to read the passed value.

<?
class Member{

function vallidateForm ($HTTP_POST_VARS){
echo "$HTTP_POST_VARS['frmUsername']";
}

}
$user = new Member;
if($action=="register"){
$user->vallidateForm($HTTP_POST_VARS);
}else{
$user->displayForm();
}

Why i try to run it i get error

Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\cms\member.php on line 235

Thank you very much

echo "$HTTP_POST_VARS['frmUsername']";

never quote variables.

Which line of your code is line 235? I think I might know your problem.

Thank You like 235 is:

235: echo "$HTTP_POST_VARS['frmUsername']";

You may have to declare $HTTP_POST_VARS as global inside your function. I'm not sure if, by default, PHP sets the $HTTP_POST_VARS as global. If not you'll need this line INSIDE of your function.

global $HTTP_POST_VARS;

I had the same problem with the $PHP_SELF variable, I had to tell my function it was global to use it inside the function.

Hope this helps,

Rodney

"You may have to declare $HTTP_POST_VARS as global inside your function."
uhm.. why? he is passing the HTTP_POST_VARS through the function parameters.

Just remove the quotes around the var in the acho statement and it works...

Don't know what I was thinking. I wasn't looking at the code when I wrote that.
