annoying problem with my class

[Anand]

Hi;

I have a class called weather and onf of its member functions contains code like this;

case "realtemp":
$this->$realtemp = $data;
break;

the problem i am having is that $data doesn't appear to get stores.

if i did this;
$this->$realtemp = $data;
$echo $data;

it will print the data onto the screen;

however if i try this it won't print anything.
$this->$realtemp = $data;
echo $this->realtemp;

I am having the same problem even outside the class.

Coud anybody shed some light?
Thanks,

Anand

Can you post your entire class code? That might help in trying to decipher the problem.

You want to make sure that you declare your class variables with the var keyword, and when you access them with the special $this reference you need not put the $ in front of the var name.

For instance (no punn intended):

class foo
{
	var myvar;

do_foo($val)
{
	$this->myvar = val;	
}
}

and when you use a case statement you'll need to use switch with it.

if i did this;
$this->$realtemp = $data;
$echo $data;

You also dont need the $ in front of echo, or any function for that matter.

I fixed the problem.

My stupid fault!

i was doing this;

$this->$myvar = $data;

note the extra '$'

Thanks for for your help.
