global variables also in classes?

[Steffel]

is it possible to set a variable in a config-file and got the value within a class?
my code:
class BaseBean
{
// set logfile
var $LOGFILE = "C:/application/log/data.log";

...

/**
writes changes to logfile

@ string text
/
function write_logfile($text)
{
// write into logfile
$dataFile = fopen($this->LOGFILE,"a");
fwrite($dataFile,$text);
fclose($dataFile);
}
}

i want to set the logfile-path in an extern config file...

Hi,

inside of the function use the 'global' keyword to access the variable

[Steffel]

yeah i know that, but global works only inside a function, not inside a class
so i cant use it in my case

Au contraire:

<?php

 $name = "Steffel";

 class Testing
 {
	function PrintName()
	{
		global $name;
		echo $name;
	}
 }

 $a = new Testing;

 $a->PrintName();

?>

did you actually try it? 🙂

hihi, ok thx

[Steffel]

hmm, your code was no problem, but in my case i include the class file with require
so just to explain my scipt looks like this

require(config_file) // this is where the var $LOGFILE is set
require(my_class) // this is where i would need the $LOGFILE
..
do anything

i dont know why, but than it doesnt work, even if your script did it...
