Class Variables

[Anon]

Hi,
I am working with a class such as:
class ROCK {
var $src="testing";
var $later="rocket";
var $header="appliance";
}

But then I need to add another variable based on a variable just defined such as $footer=$header."_footer"  but I can't get it to work right.  Is there a specific way to get the variable.  I've tried

var $footer=$header."footer"; and
var $footer=$this->header."footer";
but nothing seems to work for me. Thanks for helping

Try this:

class ROCK {
var $src = \"testing\";
var $later = \"rocket\";
var $header = \"appliance\";
var $footer = \"\";

function Add_Footer($footer) {
$this->footer = $this->header . $footer;
}
}

Then once you instantiate your class, use the Add_Footer class to add in your footer:

$rock = new ROCK();

// do something...

$rock->Add_Footer(\"_footer\");

or of course instead of the function, you can define $footer to be a constant.
