[RESOLVED] Quick question about variable scope

[hadoob024]

I'm having a complete brainfart right now and can't seem to remember this. Tried looking it up in the manual, but couldn't find an example. Here's what I have:

class myclass {

function testA {


}

function testB {

}
}

So that's my basic setup. I want to define a variable. I then want to set it's value in testA(). I then want to be able to access the value in testB(). Where and how do I define this variable?

I thought all I had to do was something like:

class myclass {

public $tempvar='';

function testA {
    $tempvar="my new value";

}

function testB {
    echo $tempvar;

}
}

But this says that $tempvar is equal to NULL. What am I forgetting? Thanks in advance!

<?php
class myclass {

public $tempvar='';

function testA() {
    $this->tempvar="my new value";

}

function testB() {
    echo $this->tempvar;

}
}
$c=new myclass();
$c->testA();
$c->testB();
?>

You forgot the $this->, i.e., $this->tempvar.

That said, if you are not actually using the class to model an object, then you should be using 2 non-member functions instead and then passing an argument.

Aaaah.. Yes. Cool. Thanks to both of you!
