Including files inside a class

jaddy

Hi all,

I could'nt include a file inside a class!! Suppose that we have the following class:

class FileClass
{
var $Interland = 55;

function any_method()
{
do_anything();
}
}

This works fine, while the following causes some errors:

class FileClass
{

include("any_file.php");
var $Interland = $a_variable_in_the_file_any_file;

function any_method()
{
do_anything();
}
}

Can anybody tells me why I get errors, and how can I use the file's variables inside my classes?

Thx.

As the manual indicates (http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.php)

Note: In PHP 4, only constant initializers for var variables are allowed

So try something like:

include('any_file.php');

class FileClass
{
  function FileClass()
  {
    global $a_variable_in_the_file_any_file;
    $this->Interland = $a_variable_in_the_file_any_file;
  }
}

Ic...

So how can I innitiate a variable based on the one I get from the file "any_file.php" ?

include('any_file.php');

class FileClass
{
  function FileClass()
  {
    global $a_variable_in_the_file_any_file;
    $this->Interland = $a_variable_in_the_file_any_file;
  }

  // I want to get the value from the variable
  // $a_variable_in_the_file_any_file and put it in $var1 below
  var $var1 = ????
}

Thx.

Sorry since I am not too good in classes...

Can I for example innitiate the variable $var1 in the example above like the following:

//I want to get the value from the variable
// $a_variable_in_the_file_any_file and put it in $var1 below
var $var1 = $FileClass.Interland;

or like:

 
// I want to get the value from the variable
// $a_variable_in_the_file_any_file and put it in $var1 below
var $var1 = $FileClass->Interland;

Nothing works with me!!!
Thx.

You can only use var with static constants.

All other initializations need to be done in the constructor.

My previous post showed how to pull a value out of another file and store it in the object.

Maybe you can provide an example of how you are trying to use the object.

Thx ahundiak, your previous code works with me fine now 🙂

here is my real example:


include("../config/config.php");

class FileClass
{
	function FileClass()
	{

	// --------- Server info. for FTP connection
	global $ftpServer,$ftpUser,$ftpPass,$root_url,$root_directory_path;
	global $root_directory_name,$local_temp_dir,$port;
	global $uploaded_images_directory,$maximum_upload_file_size;
	$this->ftpServer = $ftpServer;
	$this->ftpUser = $ftpUser;
	$this->ftpPass = $ftpPass;
	$this->root_url = $root_url;
	$this->root_directory_path = $root_directory_path;
	$this->root_directory_name = $root_directory_name;
	$this->local_temp_dir = $local_temp_dir;
	$this->port = $port;
	$this->uploaded_images_directory = $uploaded_images_directory;
	$this->maximum_upload_file_size = $maximum_upload_file_size;
}
.
.
.
}

Thx.
