hi guys

i am having a small problem

i have a class for members

it has the following variables

var $member_fullname;
var $member_email;
var $member_signature;

its values are initialized from a db

not what i need is as follows

this is function of the class

function return_value($value) {
$return_value = "$this->member_$value";
eval("\$return_value = \"$return_value\";");
return $return_value;
}

i will be passing a variable to the above function

ex: return_value("fullname");

i should get the value of $this->member_fullname

the above function doesnt seem to work

thanks

Try this:

function return_value($value) {
return $this->{"member_$value"};
}

Try This , It will work .

<?
function return_value($value) { 
$return_value = '\$this->member_$value'; 
eval("\$return_value = \"$return_value\";"); 
return $return_value; 
} 

print return_value("fullname"); 
?>

Why not ditch those underscores? They are making your code hard to read.

var $member["fullname"]; 
var $member["email"]; 
var $member["signature"]; 

function getMember($attribute)
{ 
     return $this->$member[$attribute]; 
}

Also, name your methods so they tell you what they do. The method name return_value doesn't really tell you much about what the method does.

Sorry for the nitpicking. I can't help it 🙂
