classes

[nuttynibbles]

Hi, i've done my programs mainly in functions and would like to place them in class..to be more organise =) i've a class Customer in customer.php and Database in dbConn.php.. in class Customer i've a function AddData(){...}. In class Database, i've a function OpenDb(){} and CloseDb(){}.. i tried doing this but couldn;t work..

customer.php
Class Customer
{
[INDENT]
function AddData()
{
include("dbConn.php");
$dbObj = new Database;
$dbObj.OpenDb();

..............

}[/INDENT]

}
Where did I go wrong?

It is probably better to do a require_once or include_once before declaring your class, instead of doing an include within a function. The problem you have is syntax: $dbObj->OpenDb(), not $dbObj.OpenDb().

ook tks.. i've solve it.. but i've another problem..if i wanna call a variable in a function within a class, how do i call it? is it $dbObj->OpenDb()->$var??

[laserlight]

What do you mean by "call a variable in a function within a class"?

[nuttynibbles]

customer.php

<?php

class{

function abc()
{
$var="haha";
}
}
}//end of class

?>

form.php
<?php
include("customer.php");
cusObj = new Customer;

...
?>
so nw i wanna print the value of $var in form.php.. hw do i do that?

[laserlight]

That cannot be done. $var is local to abc(). What you could do is return its value from the function, or if appropriate, turn it into a member variable.
