Question

Here is the class:

functions.php

class buildPage {

    public function Set($var,$val){
        $this->set->$var = $val;
    }

    function Body(){
        ob_start();

        include('pages/'.$this->set->pageFile);
        $page = ob_get_contents();

        ob_end_clean();

        return $page;
    }

    function Out(){
        echo $this->Body();
    }
}

So here is the main (index) page of the script.

index.php

include_once('include/functions.php');

$page = new buildPage();

$page->Set('pageTitle','Old Title');    
$page->Set('pageFile','about.php');

$page->Out();

Now as you can see, it includes about.php file through class, actually inside the class.

And now, I want to access the same buildPage() class to change the page title.

about.php

<?php

$this->Set('pageTitle','New Title');
echo '<h1>About Us</h1>';

?>

But unfortunately, nothing happens.

Please be kind to take few minutes to give me some help!

OK. I’ve managed to fix the problem myself.

Changed function Body() and Out() as follows :

function Body(){

    $pageFile = $this->Get('pageFile');
    if(empty($pageFile)){
        $pageFile = 'home.php';
    }

    $page_path = 'pages/'.$pageFile;

    ob_start();

    include($page_path);

    if(!empty($page_set_arr) && is_array($page_set_arr)){
        foreach($page_set_arr AS $k=>$v){
            $this->Set($k,$v);
        }
    }

    $page = ob_get_clean();

    return $page;
}

function Out(){
    $body = $this->Body();

    echo $this->Header();
    echo $body;
    echo $this->Footer();
}

And then changed the file about.php as follows :

<?php

$page_set_arr = array(
                    'pageTitle' => 'About Us'
                );

?>

<h1>About Us</h1>
