Ah ha! Thank you! Your mention of an error, was spot on. notice below I
misspelled the class name but got the Object name correct.
Also at first I had the setup like this because it wasn't working and I
thought I was doing it wrong: (this also added to my confusion)
myclass.php
class simpleConstructer {
function __construct() {
echo "running the constructor";
}
}
index.php
require_once 'myclass.php';
$test = new simpleConstructor();
But once I fixed the error I put it all back in myclass.php like so:
myclass.php
class simpleConstructer {
function __construct() {
echo "running the constructor";
}
}
$test = new simpleConstructor();
Now I am wondering what you meant when you said:
>>>If you had another function ("member") within the class called
>>>"myfunction()", you could run it this way (after you instantiate the
>>> class):
>>>$test->myfunction();"
If you don't mind my asking, how would you take the above example and
change it to what you describe above?
