OOP: PHP bug ? var is not "saved"

[teyeheimans]

After running the code below, I get the following result:

Errors: - -

Where are my error messages?? What did I do wrong?

<?

class Test {
    var $fields;

// generate a set fields
function Test() {
    $this->fields[0] = new field;
    $this->fields[1] = new field;

    $this->Handle();
}

// handler
function Handle() {
    if( $this->Validate() ) {
        echo "OK!";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "Errors:";
        foreach($this->fields as $obj)
        {
            echo "\n - ". $obj->GetError();
        }
    }
}

// are the fields valid
function Validate() {
    $err = false;

    foreach ( $this->fields as $obj) {
        if( ! $obj->IsValid()) $err = true;
    }
    return !$err;
}

}

class field {
    var $error;

// always invalid
function IsValid() {

    $result = false;

    if(!$result)
      $this->error = "error message";

    return $result;
}

// get the error
function GetError() {
    return $this->error;
}
}

$test = new Test;

?>

i dont' get it, you set the $result to false, never give it a chance to be set to true, then you return the result. so this field NEVER has a chance to be valid.

<?
function IsValid() { 
        $result = false; 

    if(!$result) 
      $this->error = "error message"; 

    return $result;
}?>

i don't understand also why you return !$err; ( with the '!' ) in the Validate function.

either way, your field.IsValid function is returning false to your Test.Validate function, which then returns false to your Test.Handle() function which echos "Errors" 😃 the knee bone is connected to the thy bone too

i suggest making simpler practice classes.
