Hi everyone. I'm a .Net developer and brand new to php. I've read
through most of the php manual and in doing so realized there are a lot
of similarities between c# and php. Anyway I have a specific question
about my subject. I ran across an issue while trying to instantiate an
object in a class. This is what I did.
<?php
include 'StringBuilder.php';
class ThisClass($someVar)
{
private $sb = new StringBuilder();
public function SomeFunction()
{
$sb.append('Text');
$sb.append('Text');
echo $sb->toString();
}
}
?>
}
I had to fix this by placing the object instantiation within a function
like so:
<?php
include 'StringBuilder.php';
class ThisClass($someVar)
{
private $sb;
public function SomeFunction()
{
$sb = new StringBuilder();
$sb.append('Text');
$sb.append('Text');
echo $sb->toString();
}
}
?>
}
I suppose the best way to handle this is to instantiate the object in
the constructor but I was wondering if anyone had any idea why this is
necessary in the first place?
