Using a variable again in the class

[mailtome]

Hi
I have a class defined as below. I want to assign the value of myvar to myvar1. But it gives me error

class Common {

public static $myvar = 'abcd';
public static $myvar1 = $myvar."efgh";
}

Can someone help.

Thanks

You cant use a class property and assign it to another, unless you have a method to do it for you.

Im going to assume your using PHP 5 as your using public.

class Common {

public static $myvar = 'abcd';
private $myvar1;

public function setMyVar1($text)
{
    $this->myvar1 = $this->myvar . $text;
}

}

Please mark the thread as resolved...here's a generic "set variable function" for any class:

function setVar($var, $value)
{
     $this->$$var = $value;
}

Pass it the name of the variable, without a $ (dollar) sign. Or pass me $100 😃
