Help with this code please

Loai_Najati

Hello

Still in OOP😃

<?php
class loai{
$this->message="Hey you";
echo $this->message;
}
?>
It doesn't show me any error
Isn't that supposed to output "Hey you"?

Thank you in advance

When writing inside a class you can only have properties (class variables) and methods (functions).

class loai{
    private $message="Hey you";

public function __construct(){
    echo $this->message;
}
}

$x = new loai();

Maybe you were looking for somthing like that?

so in that example $message is a property and __construct is a method. This particular method is called when a new instance is made (when new loai() is called a new instance is made)

As far as not showing an error, I suspect you have the display_errors configuration setting turned off, since the code you supplied would generate a parse error. You might have to check your error logs to find such errors if you cannot run your tests in an environment with display_errors turned on.

Make sure you read the manual on how to code a PHP class properly.

Your code's output is :
message; } } $x = new loai(); ?>

And my error displaying setting is set to yes

Looks like it's not being processed as PHP at all. If testing this on a local installaion on your PC, be sure to load the file via the browser address bar as "http://localhost/file_name.php", and not by double-clicking its file icon or by using the "File -> Open" menu option of your browser.
