Paul,
I seem that you should missed the required underscore " _ "
It should the __get() but not _get().
Shall this help ?
And here is a quick test !!
[ [ [
class test
{
public $varname = 1000;
public function __get($name)
{
return $this->init($name);
}
public function init($name)
{
return new test();
}
}
$t = new test();
$db = $t->database;
if (is_object($db))
{
echo $db->varname;
}
] ] ]
