Accessing global variables inside a class

[mailtome]

Hi,
I have one config with some 100 variables. I want to access those variables inside class functions. I can only find two ways of doing this
class A
{
function B
{
global aa,ab;
}
function C
{
global aa,ab;
}
}
But this way I have to define the variables in each and every function.

Another way is to define class variables and initilize this variables with the values of global variables inside a constructor. But this way I have two define all the variables again inside the constructor

function A //constructor
{
global $aa;
$this->aa1=$aa;
}

Can someone suggest a better way to do this?

you need all of those 100 vars in your class?

make them attributes of your class and give them a default value in your class definition

Thats the same as the constructor approach right??

<?php

class MyClass {

// class variables
// var = $varname [= default value]; 

var = (int)$aa =0;
var = (string)$bb ="";
// var =
// var =

function MyClass() {

// class constructor function
}

function getAA() {

$ret =  $this->aa;
return $ret;
}

function setBB( $str ) {

$this->bb = $str;
return TRUE;
}

} // end class

?>

no it mean's getting rid of the config file

class many_vars_inside {
  var $a = 'default value a';
  var $b = 'default value b';
}

if you want to, you can pass "real" values in the constructor

class many_vars_inside {
  var $a = 'default value a';
  var $b = 'default value b';

  function many_vars_inside($vars) {
    foreach ($vars as $key => $var)
      $this->{$key} = $var;
  }
}

$instance = new many_vars_inside(array('a' => 'real value a'));
