Access Class Variable inside another class - El Forum - 02-18-2008
[eluser]adamp1[/eluser]
I have the following setup
Code:
class Page extends Controller
{
function Page()
{
$this->_variable = "something";
}
function index()
{
$this->Library->method();
{
}
class Library
{
function method()
{
// Use $_variable
}
}So is there a way the library can access the variable without it being passed explicitly to the class/method?

Create a get() method to retrieve the variable, and pass $this (the controller object) to the Library when you create it. Then just call $controllerObj->getVar() from within the library.

Option 1) Library extends Page
Option 2) Instantiate Page inside of Library and access the member variable like $page->_variable or using a get() method

You can also make the property static:
Code:
class Page extends Controller
{
static $_variable;
function Page()
{
$this->_variable = "something";
}
function index()
{
$this->Library->method();
{
}
class Library
{
function method()
{
// Use $_variable
echo Page::$_variable;
}

If Page is the current controller you can
Code:
$CI =& get_instance()
$CI->_variableAccess Class Variable inside another class - El Forum - 02-19-2008
