OOP and Sessions

[apaxson]

I am currently building a Help Desk application challenging my knowledge in OOP and PHP. I am curious, though, if I can send objects through sessions? Or do I have to re-create the object on each and every page?

I would make a script for that in a single file. As its been used in multiple files.

Now to answer your question. Yes the class would need to be made again. Although your Session should still exist

why not define the class in a seperate file and then form an object in the same file..

<?php
class blah
{
var $blah;

function set_blah($blah) {
$this->blah = $blah;
}
}

$b = new blah;
?>

now in other files you can just..

<?php
include("class.obj");

$b->set_blah($some_var);
?>

Saves re-defining the class all the time..

Great Ideas!

My technicians will load up a ticket, and then manipulate it such as:

showTicket.php

$myTicket = new Ticket();
$myTicket -> setID($id);  // sets the ID of the current ticket
$myTicket -> display();  //displays the current ticket

Now, what if they want to add a note to that current ticket:

addTicketNote.php

$myTicket = new Ticket();
$myTicket -> setID($id);
$myTicket -> addNote($username,$note);

What you are saying, is at the end of my Ticket class, insert:

$myTicket = new Ticket();

And then just keep passing the $ID around as session variables?
I hope I understood you right. Makes sense.
