[RESOLVED] trying to learn classes... help

[scrupul0us]

<?php
class dateClass
{
	var $timestamp;

function getDay()
{
$day = date("j",$timestamp);
return $day;
}


}
$dateClass = &New dateClass;
$dateClass->timestamp = date('Y-m-d');
echo $dateClass->getDay;
?>

i wanna be able to pass a unix time stamp to my class and have it tell me what numeric day it is

im getting this:

Notice: Undefined property: dateClass::$getDay in date.php on line 16

line 16 being "echo $dateClass->getDay;"

this is my first class ever ::Hides::

It should be

echo $dateClass->getDay();

getDay is a method OR easier known as a function you wouldnt try a function as

function quicktest()
{
    return 1;
}
echo quicktest;

Also just looking over this wouldn't this be better way to do it.

class dateClass
{

var $timestamp;

function dateClass()
{
    $this->timestamp = time();
}

function setTimestamp( $time )
{
    $this->timestamp = $time;
}

function getDay()
{
     return date( "j", $this->timestamp );
}

}

$date = new dateClass();
echo $date->getDay();

The other thing i noticed which is fixed in the above is your setting timestamp as a date when the second parameter of date must be int which mktime & time do not date as it returns string.

well anyway is better than mine

how can i pass a different time stamp like say a week from today... which would be:
time() + (7 24 60 * 60)

[planetsim]

You'd use the setTimestamp method so e.g.

/* class code above */
$date = new dateClass();
$date->setTimestamp( (time() + (7 * 86400)) ); // 86400 seconds per day
