How many functions fit in a class?

siwash

When I use $f = new foo; I can print "bar" in my calling script.

However, I cannot create other functions or methods inside my class, i.e. when I move function hworld from the commented section to the class declaration, "bar" will not print in the calling script, and neither will anything else from the $f = new foo; statement.

My other scripts have multiple functions, no problem. The trouble is when I try more than one method in a class. So far I can't create very useful classes, or even duplicate some of the simple examples I've seen online.

My ISP is running 4.0.4pl1 on a Linux system.

I've searched books, forums, manual, tutorials, etc. Have I gone blind? Help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

<?php

class foo {
var $fb;
function foo() {
$this->fb = "bar";
echo ($this->fb);
}
}
/
function hworld() {
$n = "hello world";
echo ($n);
}
/
?>

okay, when you call methods you use the object that you created. so you start like this:

$f = new foo;

now $f is your object in the script and you use that to call methods like so:

$f->hworld();

which will print "hello world".

does that answer your question or is it something else?

Thanks, Chris.

The problem happens even when I don't try to access a method with $f->hworld(); in the calling script.

When I include a second function in the class declaration, the calling script stops printing anything at and below the $f = new foo; statement, even the </body> and tags below my php script.

i don't know if you are still having this problem but try this. i think this might be what you are looking for:

$f = new foo();

Thanks, Chris

$f = new foo; and
$f = new foo();

both seem to work ok, but the problem remains.

Having any functions in the class declaration, in addition to the constructor, causes the php to fail.
