question about classes

[Tomz]

Hi,

I'm just starting to code using classes. I have a question about it...

For instance, I have a file called class.php, containing the class called "class1" with a function called ProcessUser.

Also I have a file index.php which might look like the one below:

// index.php

include('classes/class.php');

$cclass = new class1;

$cclass->user= $user;
$cclass->ProcessUser();

The ProcessUser function puts a value into a variable, lets say $username = "John".
Now I want to display the value of $username in index.php

Just putting echo($username) in index.php will not work (ofcourse) but how can I work with variables that are generated in a class?

Thanks!

Tom

You would have to make a function to take out that varible and print it. I dont think there is any other way, unless you declear the varible in the class before.

But try echo $class->varible_name and see if it prints out the varible

I see.

does this go for SESSION variables as well?

[procoder]

what a class stores in a session is accessable from any file, classes dont have their own sessions.
