Thanks for all the help thusfar. Classes are just not something I am understanding. I have read the sections on classes in several books and the www.php.net section on them and still am missing something. It seems that these books have been telling me what a light switch is used for but not how to use one.
So would I call the class like this? $first = new first; $first->setData(35, "chris"); $test=$first->returnData; print $test; Thanks again, Leonard. Just as a refresher here is the class. class first { var $age; var $name; function first() { $age = 0; $name = ''; } function setData( $age, $name ) { $this->age = $age; $this->name = $name; } function returnData() { $retval = ''; $retval = $this->age; $retval .= $this->name; return $retval; } } -----Original Message----- From: Johannes Schlueter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 2:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Help with classes (oop) On Monday 03 February 2003 20:45, Chris Boget wrote: > function setData( $age, $name ) > { > $age = $age; > $name = $name; > } Is useless ;-) I think you wanted this: function setData( $age, $name ) { $this->age = $age; $this->name = $name; } johannes -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
