Hello people, if someone could help me regarding this I would highly appreciate it...
I dont understand classes and have little knowledge regarding classes, I need to know something simple though...
How do I get a value of a variable thats inside a class and inside a custom function in the class ?
Thank you for any help in advance...
// notice, not $varname
$value = $obj->varname;
$return = $obj->funcname();Zend.com - Classes and Objects Tutorial for Absolute Beginners

Hehe, thanks for the kind words, its probably respect that forces one to be polite towards people that keeps the php spirit alive. Its because of guys like you that php is where it is today… always willing to give a helping hand, that’s what I respect, you know you wont get nothing in return you just do it for the love of humanity !
Sorry but I still cant seem to figure it out... will you please have a look at this simple class :
Class :
<?php
// PHP
// Class Definition
class Bear {
// define Properties
public $name;
public $weight;
public $age;
public $sex;
public $color;
// Define Methods
public function eat() {
echo $this->name . " is eating...\n";
}
public function run() {
echo $this->name . " is running...\n";
}
public function kill() {
echo $this->name . " is killing...\n";
}
public function sleep() {
echo $this->color . " is sleeping...\n";
$variable = "This is a Test";
}
}
?>
My little test script ;
<?php
require_once('object.php');
// Creating a bear
$daddy = new Bear;
$daddy->name = "Daddy Bear";
$daddy->age = "8";
$daddy->sex = "Male";
$daddy->color = "black";
$daddy->weight = 300;
$daddy->variable = "Testing";
// Another Bear
$mommy = new Bear;
$mommy->name = "Mommy Bear";
$mommy->age = "7";
$mommy->sex = "Female";
$mommy->color = "brown";
$mommy->weight = 310;
// ###########################
$daddy->kill();
$mommy->eat();
$mommy->sleep();
?>
Now as you can see in my first script theres a variable $variable, can you echo the data from $variable in my second test script ?
Thank you indeed, I hope there is a simple solution to this...
you can not echo $mommy or $daddy
they are objects, created with 'new'
but you can echo those class variables, using your objects to do it
and you can make other variables, using your objects
// add this at end of your script, to test
// $mommy is just an object
// something you use as reference while working in CLASS
echo $mommy;
echo 'heavy '.$mommy->weight; // echoes heavy + weight (310)
$mommysweight = $mommy->weight;
echo 'weight of mommy = '.$mommysweight;I thank you once again, however, I realize that you cannot echo a object, what I actually whant to know is this : In my first script (the object script) I have a Method/Function named sleep () in that function theres a variable reading like this "$variable = "This is a test", how will I echo that value in my second script.
I appoligize for being so dumb, its just a hurdle I need to jump, then I think I understand OOP, I really appreciate the time you take to awnser my incompetend questions !
As you help me I am beginning to understand, I cannot thank you enough, OOP is like a wall in front of me I need to break down, if I could only understand the last part, the previous post, I think I have it then ... ! 
// yes, your stupid questions make me go crazy *smile*
// echo variable
echo $mommy->weight;
// run a function
$mommy->funcname();
// examples
$daddy->sleep();
echo 'linebreak <br>';
$daddy->sleep();I have learnt PHP, by trial and errors (many errors)
do some experiments, like a scientist
and
you will make errors
but you will learn BETTER, than if somebody JUST TELLS you everything
bottomline-> We learn the best from our mistakes!
