Passing Values from one function to another within the controller

Hi,

I have searched the forum for a while, but i didn't get the exact information for my question.

Question:
I need to pass the values from one function to another within the controller.

Here's the example

Code:

class MyClass extends Controller{
  public $myVariable;

  function MyClass() {
    parent::Controller();
  }

  function myFunction1() {
    $this->myVariable = $_POST['name'];
  }

  function myFunction2() {
    echo $this->myVariable;
  }

}

But i couldn't receive the value in myFunction2() that was stored in myFunction1().
Looking for the best solution. Thank you.

Look into using session variables.

That only works if myFunction1 somehow calls myFunction2.

If you are talking about multiple page requests, remember that the web is stateless, myFunction2 doesn't know there was a previous request to that same controller and myFunction1 was executed. Sessions are indeed the preferred option to pass data from one request to the next.

Maybe it's not a bad idea to read up on the basics of PHP and web development, it will save you a lot of frustration...

Yes, i am looking for the values in multiple page requests. That's my wild desire to pass the values among the functions in a controller.

Just asked here hoping to find any solution. It seems a impossible one.

It's not the time to give up now - I'm sure there is a solution, it's just
that it don't work the way you tried to do it. Using sessions like Kindari
suggested could be a way to achieve what you wanted to.

Yes LuckyFella, i will follow the way of using session variables.

Thank you all.
