leslie is my first class ever, and I am having problems with her...

[masood131]

Hi,

Yes, as you guessed I not only have problem with leslie outside the virtual world, but I also have problem with her in the first class I ever wrote for her (of course she is fictional guys. I don't mean to get your hopes up guys). Well here she is:

<?php

class Human
{
  private $attribute = array ('hair', 'eyes', 'height', 'weight');

  function __get($feature, $value)
  {
    foreach($attribute as $feature => $value)
      echo $feature.'=>'.$value.'<br />';
  }

  function __set($feature, $value)
  {
    $this->attribute [$feature] = $value;
  }
}

$leslie = new Human();
$leslie->hair = "blond";
$leslie->eye = "green";
$leslie->height = "5 10";
$leslie->weight = "116";

?>  

Can someone help me fix her please. My problems with her:
1) Do I have the right idea by thinking of her attributes as such? I mean I can change the attributes to anyone else and this would be a good use of a class, no?

2) I am trying to print out her attributes, but I can't

I will take any SIMPLE suggestions. Please remember I just wrote my first class ever.

Thnks everyone

Hi Masood,

I'm assuming this is PHP5 ... is that right? Whatever, is this line right ...

$leslie->new Human();

... Shouldn't it be ...

$leslie = new Human();

Paul 🙂

PS. Your post made me laugh out loud ... first class 'first class'.

Thanks Paul. I made the change in the original script. I thought some guys my appreciate the name of my human class. Wait until I be done with her. She'll be gorgeous. 😃

Well, lets have some fun with her then. Thanks pal

Masood, did you happen to watch the movie Weird Science recently? 😃

If Leslie looks anything like Kelly LeBrock, you are welcome to instantiate another and mail() her to me 😃

Hi Kerry,

That was old movie if I remember correctly, wasn't it? However, she did look great in that movie and any other one's I saw from her. I be sure to send you one when I done with her, but meanwhile maybe you can help me put her together:

I am having trouble printing her out. What am I doing wrong?

echo $feature.'=>'.$value.'<br />

should be:

echo $feature.'=>'.$value.'<br />';

Hmm, I think that it's this:

$leslie->height = "5 10";
$leslie->weight = "116";

PHP realizes that the probability of this being accurate is extremely close to zero, so it exhausts the per-process memory limit whilst trying to determine whether or not it's actually possible to instantiate the class. You might try:

lola = new Human(); 
$lola->hair = "brown"; 
$lola->eye = "brown"; 
$lola->height = "5 1"; 
$lola->weight = "160";

PHP should have no problem with that one.... Or, perhaps you need to try and up memory_limit in /usr/local/lib/php/php_dreamgirl.ini ??

😃 😃

Well dalecosp,

You sure are supporting the cause. Little sense of humor is always welcome here. I can dream, can't I?

take care

so, any feedback on how to get her printing through the __get() function?

[dalecosp]

Well, my feedback isn't worth much when OOP and PHP5 are involved. I spent 45 minutes wondering why I was getting parse errors declaring a private variable until I realized that the CLI I was working under was PHP4, not PHP5. And my feedback is probably worse when you're trying to overload objects like you seem to be...

Firstly, my PHP5 install tells me this😛HP Fatal error: Method Human::__get() must take exactly 1 argument in /usr/scripts/leslie on line 11. Have you not seen this error? (Off to check exactly what version I'm on....)

Hi again,

Well I can't verify this (don't use PHP5) but ...

<?php 

class Human
{ 
	private $attribute = array ('hair', 'eyes', 'height', 'weight'); 

function __get($feature)
{ 
	return $this->attribute[$feature]; 
} 

function __set($feature, $value)
{ 
	$this->attribute[$feature] = $value; 
} 

function display()
{ 
	echo '<hr><pre>';	
	print_r($this->attribute);	
	echo '</pre>';
} 
}

$leslie = new Human(); 
$leslie->hair = "blond"; 
$leslie->eye = "green"; 
$leslie->height = "5 10"; 
$leslie->weight = "116"; 

$leslie->display(); 
?>  

... seems reasonable 😉

Paul.
