Allen,
The short answer (but don't follow this):
<?php
class Meetgreet {
public function deleteSingle($id, $number) {
// do something
global $Notify;
$Notify->addToQ( .. );
}
}
?>
The long(er) answer:
I assume your Notifier object functions as singleton? Ie; accross your
entire application, there is only one instance of that class?
Why not go-static? That is, to my experience, the sweetest way to make
something globally accessible - without making something global. Like so
<?php
class Notifier {
protected static $queue = Array();
// make sure it can't be instantiated
private constructer __construct() {
}
public static function addToQ( $arg, $anotherArg) {
self::$queue[] = $arg.' - '.$anotherArg;
}
}
// and then from within any method anywhere, call
Notifier::addToQ('foo', 'bar');
?>
Does that work for you?
Regards,
Wouter
(ps. call me a purist, but a function defined in a class is no longer called
a function, but a *method*)
