How to make/use global variables in self made libraries
#1

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi Everyone

Okay I've made my own library and have multiple functions in a given library. Now within each function they share a common variable. Example:

Code:
class myclass
{  
function A()
   {
      $myvar
   }

function B()
   {
      $myvar
   }
}

is there anyway this can be achieved but without using a session or config files??

would making it a class property do what you need it to do?

/**
* SETUP:
*
* place this library in ./application/libraries/Property.php
*
* Autoload: ./application/libraries/Property.php
* Autoload: ./application/helpers/property_helper.php
*
* TESTING:
*
* In your Controller index method add.
*
*   property_set('1', 'test1', 'test1');
*   property_set('1', 'test2', 'test1');
*   property_set('1', 'test3', 'test1');
*
*   property_set('2', 'test4', 'test2');
*   property_set('2', 'test5', 'test2');
*   property_set('2', 'test6', 'test2');
*
*   $result  = property_get('1', 'test3');
*   $result1 = property_get_index('2');
*   $exist   = property_exists('2', 'test1');
*
*   $result2 = property_delete('1', 'test3');
*
*   // Remove the remarks // to reset and clear out the properties array.
*   // property_clear();
*
* DEBUGING:
*
*   var_dump($this->property->debug_properties());
*
*   $this->property->var_debug($this->property->debug_properties(), $result, $result1, $exist, $result2);
*
* USAGE:
