classes

[Anon]

Hello everyone!

In my Class Script I have:
var $_team

function getTeam(){
return $this->team;
}

Then I have the following in another class:
note: theScript is an Object of class Script.

$team=$this->theScript->getTeam();
print"team: $team";
This should give me "team: Object"
but it doesn't. Instead it gives me "team: "

If I have this statement in the Class Script
$team=$this->getTeam();

print"team: $team";
it prints the correct results "team: Object";

Why is this happening? Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Your line $team=$this->theScript->getTeam(); is stating that you are in a class, and that you have a class object called theScript which has a method of getTeam(). So is theScript actually a class variable (like $team in your Script object), or did you just pass it into the method where you are trying to do this?

Yeah I actually passed theScript into the method where I am trying to do this.

See if I do this:
print"script: $theScript"
it prints "script: Object"

if I were to do this:
$league=$this->theScript->getCurrentLeagueID();

print"league: $league";
it will print the league ID: "league: 453"

Are you sure? If you are passing theScript into the method then $this->theScript shouldn't work, since $this->theScript doesn't exist, but $theScript does.

So you should be doing:

$league = $theScript->getCurrentLeagueID();

$this is an identifier used to tell an object that you are accessing a variable/method that exists inside itself, but not in the local scope.
