What is wrong with my classes in php?

[redrabbit]

Just wondering. I am trying to fiddle with classes. I declare it, i set the variables but i think the problem comes when i try to retrieve the attributes.

It always outputs the wrong variable even when i use the correct name see this:

<?php
        class Member {
                var $username;
                var $age;

            function create($uname, $a) {
                    $this->$username=$uname;
                    $this->$age=$a;
            }

            function show() {
                    echo $this->$username;
                    echo $this->$age;
            }
    }
?>


<h1> class is done </h1>
<h2> set it now </h2>

<?php
        $new_member = new Member;
        $new_member->create("gary", "2");
        $new_member->show();
?>

So you see, instead of printing out "gary 2" it prints out "2 2". Any ideas why?

Thanks.

$this->$age

You mean

$this->age

Similarly for the others.

(What you're doing is saying that the variable "$age" contains the name of the field that you want to get the value of - what you want to say is that "age" is the name of the field.)
